He is so darn cute! Geoffrey is sporting his new Chick hat. I have been trying to get a hat pattern that would fit him. Finally, I had to put several different patterns together to get what I wanted.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PATTERN IS COMPRISED OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT PATTERNS. I MADE THE 6/12 MONTH SIZE AND GEOFFREY'S HEAD IS 16 INCHES AROUND. THIS IS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT GIVING OUT A PATTERN.

Bernat® Softee Baby (140 g/5 oz; 361 m/395 yds) (this will make several hats)
