Designed for both Mother & Daughter these quick & easy hats are knit entirely in the round. Using knit stitches the shaping is achieved by changing needle sizes. Designed using our colorful, boucle yarn, Clyde, they can also be knit in our Bonnie yarn, or both. They can easily be adjusted to fit any size head. If a 20 inch hat is required, simply multiply the stitch gauge per inch by the number of inches required. ie. 2.5 X 20 = 50; cast-on 50 sts.
