Grandma Liz's's
Hat Copyright
Beverly A. Qualheim 2008,2014- All Rights Reserved My mom knitted me a hat for
college in Wisconsin many years ago. I still wear it, and decided a few
years ago I should try to make one just like it and write down a
pattern to share on Bev's Country Cottage. This is that
hat! Fun to knit and so cute!

adding more rows. Make a child's size hat by using
smaller needles (3 and 4) and sport weight, sock, or baby yarn)
