Kool Hat

Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (original)

GAUGE:

18 stitches + 26 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch (knit on right side, purl on wrong side). 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.

Kool Hat Reviewed by Liz on 2010-08-02 *****
This hat was so easy to make! I have made a couple of hats before, but I liked the ribbed brim. It makes the hat stay on better than rolled-brim hats, and it looks a little nicer. This also looks just like the Gryffindor hats in Harry Potter, so I can use this pattern to make Christmas presents for my friend. Highly reccomended for a first project on a circular needle.
