Good Morning all and welcome to day 20! Gosh, only 10 days left!
Today's pattern is something a little different. The Brittany beanie features zigzag puffs!!!
Now, given how puffy the puffs are, this beanie is quite large, and probably the largest one in the collection this year. It will easily fit a 9-10lb baby. But, thats ok! Because as we know, sadly angels come in all sizes, and some wonderful charities out there also provide hats to babbas that are a bit older. Im glad to have something to offer for this size range.
Having said that, if you want to make this one smaller, I would suggest dropping to a 4mm hook AND leaving out round 5 increases. Puffs need to be kept tight, so if your having tension problems, you could downsize your hook for those rounds too.
