Thanks so much for this pattern! I never made a hat and this one worked out really well!
I would love a easy kids hat pattern for x-mass!
Love it!

I am new to knitting. Can I ask what size needles, etc you recommend? I would love to make this hat for my friend's new baby - it is adorable! Thank you 🙂
