I love this pattern! I wanted to make one for my 1 year old niece. So I started with Encore Worsted and a G hook (too big, but I think will fit my 4 year old nephew), then another with fingering weight yarn and an F hook (too small, but it will go to a newborn) and finally one with scraps of DK weight yarn with an F hook (and changed colors on some of the rounds) - and I think it will be just right for my niece. But I want to make more!

Thank you so much for this pattern! Since yesterday I have made one for myself and another for a friend's little girl. I can hardly wait to deliver the hat and see her reaction.
It is fun to wear, quick to make, and it really keeps me warm.
Hi! I made this hat for a friend's two-year-old, and it is absolutely gorgeous! It looks like a work of art in a worsted weight pink chenille. I will be making hats for every little girl I know!
Thanks a ton for this pattern!!!

More people fail from a lack of encouragement than anything else!
This is such a cute hat..I have made one in every color possible for my little 4 year old grandaughter that is going thru 1 year of Chemo treatments.. thanks for the great pattern!
These are sooooo cute, I cannot wait until I finish the fringe of my current scarf and start one of these for my little Granddaughters and GreatGranddaughter.
These are adorable!
I really like the looks of this hat but I can't find anything in the pattern about the brim. Can you please help me out!
Thanks
