I finished one of my knit worthy gifts!
Pattern: (modified) Dino Cap by Kris Hansen
Yarn: Caron Simply soft in Dark Sage and Brown
This is a toddler pattern I made for Jellybean last summer. I knew I needed roughly 100 stitches to make an adult hat at my guage. So I just did the math to upsize the pattern instructions to fit. It was fairly easy using excel and some critical thinking.
The ear flaps were a tad long for my taste but the 15 year old loved it. I opted not to continue the spikes onto the forehead, it just looked weird on the adult version. Overall I’m very happy. The double thick brim and ear flaps makes a cozy hat. I might need to make this hat for myself in wool minus the Dino spike of course.
Happy Knitting!
Thanks for the pattern idea! Little Mister might very well get one of these for next year. Have a great weekend.
It’s so wonderful
