Consummate V's Hat
by norichan knits This pattern was inspired by Trogdor! Let's go put some consummate v's on this bad boy! This hat is a quick and easy knit that would make a great first lace project. I hope you enjoy knitting this! :0o) This hat fits small adult heads as written. My head is about a 21-22". To make slouchier knit more repeats. Hat is fairly stretchy, so might fit larger heads with taller depth.
