I was requested to design my own version of a really pretty hat, so I decided to go one better, and design TWO versions of it!
Here, you will find the patterns for both a worsted weight, teen/adult size hat, and a thread or fingering weight toddler/child size hat. Both finished hats are very similar, but with very subtle differences. |
