Be sure to knit a practice swatch before you start, because the gauge is given "in pattern". The hat I knit stretched, but was not as "stretchy" as a regular knit hat. However, that could be due to the fact that the gauge I actually had was much tighter than the pattern called for (I didn't do the swatch first!).Also, use your own judgement on the height of the hat.
This was an easy knit (only 3 rows to really be concerned with in the pattern). I plan to try it in a bigger size next time, and also try to adapt to an adult size for our chemotherapy patients.
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft
Needle: US # 5 (should have used a little larger one)
