ABOUT THIS DESIGN
This playful pattern is also a real charmer. It is knit in the round with pairs of slip stitches spiraling around a tube, which ends with a row of eyelets near the top. The crown is closed with an I-cord laced through the eyelets. A cheerful little bow that tops off this hat is sure to charm anyone.
