Little girls love dressing their dolls in fun clothes and accessories. They love it even more when they can dress the doll in something that matches their own clothes! Make your favorite little girl a pair of matching hats or make just the doll hat for a quick stocking-stuffer this Christmas. Either way, she’s sure to love it!

Errata:
There is a mistake in “Join Ear Flaps to Hat” section on the first page. Only the doll size hat is affected by this mistake. The doll size should read:

With circular needle (or continuing with dpns for doll-size hat), knit the 10 stitches of the second earflap. With backwards loop method, cast on 13 for the back of the hat. Knit across stitches of first earflap, then cast on another 15 stitches for front of hat. Knit until hat is 2 inches (not 1.5” inches as the pattern states) before you begin decrease rounds.
