In just a few hours worth of time, I've gotten this far already today. I'll be making a "mommy-sized" hat for Little Miss B and her mommy to wear this winter in Michigan. I know...kinda hard to knit in 100% wool, when it's supposed to hit the 90's today...but...
When using Cascade 220....in Chocolate, white and dark Teal....Like "Mr. Food" is so fond of saying...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, it's so good!

The perfect winter hat!!
What a great pattern. I'll have to look for that one on the next visit to my LYS.
I've been admiring your little flap caps. I'd like to make one for a 4-year-old, but it looks like the 109 is for babies and 107 adults. Since you have both patterns, can you suggest which might work for a child's hat? Thanks! I'm on Ravelry with the name orsina.
Sarah, That's a really good question. I guess it just boils down to the size of the child's head. I've seen kids with head large enough to be wearing adult sized hats. But then I have one daughter who at 22 can still wear kids sized hats. The child sized hat is made for an 18 month size. And I live 3,000 miles away from the little one that I made it for, so I've not seen how it actually fits (not even in pictures!). If you were to make the larger size and it didn't fit, would you be able to make another size with a smaller needle? and then Donate the larger one somewhere?
Sarah,
But then I just had a thought the child's is made with a single strand of worsted weight and a size 8 needle, and the adults is double stranded with worsted weight and a asize 10. What if you tried a single strand of worsted in a size 9 needle? It wouldn't be as thick a knit, but might change the gauge enough?
I guess it's something to play around with. Since I've not done one inbetween sized before, I can only guess. Wish I had time to play with it, but my requsted list of knits is preventing me from getting my own sweater finished.
