With spring right around the corner, this hat would be perfect for any child in your life! The pattern is written in US crochet terminology. There are instructions for hat sizes newborn, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, toddler (1-3), and child (3-10). Materials needed are H (5.00) hook, tapestry needle, two black buttons, and yellow, white, orange, and blue yarn. The hat pattern itself has a nice textured quality to it and adds nicely to the detail. Thanks for stopping by!
