Consummate V's Hat by Noriko Ho
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! :o) This hat comes in two sizes, but both sizes are remarkably stretchy. The hat pictured is the smaller size in a beanie style. Sizes: 18"-20" [45.7-50.8cm] circumference (20"-22" [50.8-55.9cm] circumference) Teen/small adult (regular/large adult) Directions for either a beanie style or a slouchy style are provided for both sizes.
