  • CLEVER HAT PATTERN..........  ITHAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE PATTERN I POSTED HAS HAD 55cm pencilled on pattern.     This must have been added by someone adjusting for an adult.  PLEASE IGNORE THE 55 cm......the hat is perfect size for child when knitted to 40 cm as per pattern instruction.....( photo of my 5 yo grandson modelling one in "Celestial Sensarions).        Sorry I didn't pick up the pattern glitch before uploading to this page

    • Thank you very much Susanne! ❤️.  I know what I'm going to knit today ✅

I have a small head so they should be perfect for the children...
