Made as per directions except increased to 5” the K2P2 to fold over at the bottom (in the future I think I’d go with a 4” K2P2 pattern here rather than the 5”) Still pretty snug but I’m going to wash it to see if it relaxes some. LOVE the hat though! Note to self: next time add another pattern repeat. Too small around as directed.

12/20/18: Finished a second hat in what I hope will be a 2 year old size. CO 84 stitches repeated pattern x2. Need to add the pompom and my tag to complete. Will post pics and add to comments when I know if it fits or not

ETA: nope, the 84 stitches didn’t work for the 2 year old. Had to make another and went to 96 stitches. Perfect fit!
