This was supposed to be an adult hat, the Vermonter. I followed the instructions exactly with a super-bulky yarn and 8mm needles, however it fits 3 year old Quentin snuggly. Hmm... I wonder what went wrong? The hat without the pompom weighs 48g and the pompom is 22g for a total of 70g. So it turned out to be a small vermonter. Quentin wears it well! It was a really quick knit I did in 1 evening. I’ll try to find some other yarn, and maybe go up to 10mm needles to try to make this an adult version, as it’s a super cute hat.

What an adorable smiley face that boy has! Looks like he's thrilled the hat came out smaller than intended! :-)
Nice score for Quentin :)
Lucky boy!
He looks fantastic in it.
cute! that happened to me with another hat pattern-except it knitted up too big. :P
