Mini Hat Trick
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
9 single crochet = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
Hat is worked in continuous rounds. Do not join at end of rounds.

Once I realized I had to use a bulky yarn this pattern went really fast and super easy. I used a larger needle and did the child size for my 13 month old and it's still quite snug though.
I'm still going to make him wear it ;)
I have to work when he lets me but if I were to have worked it straight it would have been about 2 hours.
