Notes

I was very unhappy with the yarn, one of the skeins had 4 knots in it and that threw off my color gradient and it was very frustrating to me. I reached out to PRYco and they never responded.

Outside of that, this was a wonderful hat to make, I’ve actually made 2, a L and an XL. The large I made shorter for a teeny weenie beanie look.

I made the gradient hat a bit longer than recommended because I wanted to use up the 2 skeins of yarn I purchased so its finished measurement was closer to 16” from top to bottom hem.
