Cheryl's hat pattern will soon be included in our hat tab because it's such a versatile pattern. Here you can see they look like they're for infants because they look small. But, they are very stretchy and therefore fit a large variety of head sizes. She's trying to explain the pattern to me, and I'm, not quite getting it......but we will continue and I'll get it typed up and added. And...any of you other knitters out there, she and I discussed adding a brim; but .......how would you go about doing that? Can we pool our brain power here to come up something, sorta pattern A and B with and without a brim for folks?
Thank you Cheryl, please keep up the good work.
Please remember folks, open lacy stitches aren't warm, and tend not to hold up well in the cold wet weather here in Ohio. Stitches should be close together, please avoid using stitches your fingers can easily poke through and or you can see through. Broom stick lace, mile a minute type patterns etc don't meet the needs of those we serve.
*Folks please remember not to knot and cut with knitted or crocheted items. Knots are always the weakest link in any garment or project. Always leave tails when changing colors or adding yarn and work in your tails to avoid un-raveling.**

Beautiful hats Cheryl. I will have to leave the project to you knitters, but the outcome is lovely. Should keep heads warm, and i am sure there are ladies out there just waiting for the directions so they can start. This style is indeed stretchy, we make the crocheted version, and as you said fit many sizes. Good luck and good job. Thank you for helping the homeless.
