The Big and Little Hats are a pair of sweet matching hats for an adult, toddler and baby. They’re simple, fluffy, warm and great for a beginner knitter. Knit with thick, bulky yarn, each hat is completed in no time at all!
The Big Hat is sized for adults and fits an average-sized woman’s head. The Little Hat is sized to fit a toddler (For reference, Kate, who is pictured wearing the Little Hat, is six-years-old). Because we couldn’t leave out apple-cheeked babes, we decided last minute to design a baby size. Though not pictured, it’s totally adorable and looks like a mini version of the Little Hat. We call it the Littlest Hat!

And I forgot to mention I really like your website and all it offers! I just learned the alternating cable cast on here and the directions were excellent.
