Notes

Just one strand of fingering weight with mohair, hoping to end up with a hat that will fit my three month old niece at Christmas!

Love this hat! It’s so soft! Using the child size with fingering/mohair turned out just about perfect, although I don’t have the baby here to try it on.

I did NOT follow the tip about wrapping the yarn around the bobbles… not sure what I did wrong, but when I tried that, it pushed them even more inside. I think they look fine without that step (see photos).

I sewed a small (1/2”) button on the inside of the hat. The pompoms (which I ordered from amazon) have a tiny elastic loop attached. I pulled it through the hat and looped it over the button. Works perfectly!
