Feat's Hat Pattern

Feat's Hat Pattern

This is similar to Kiara's big girl brimmed hat but more boyish. One of our neighbors in Guyana asked me to make a hat like Kiara's for her son so this is what I came up with. He is about 6 months old. It fits Kiah another 6 month old as well as her 1 and a half year old sister Kiara.

Make one for yourself or a friend but don't sell them. If you want to share the pattern, share the link and not the pattern itself. Happy Knitting!
