Flicker and Flame by Andrea Mowry

From the designer: "Hats for the whole family in two different yarn weights! These hats are knit from the bottom up, with the colorwork motifs being read from a chart." 

SIZES
1 (2, 3, 4, 5)

FINISHED BRIM CIRCUMFERENCE
To fit: Baby (Toddler, Youth, Adult Small, Adult Large)

Sport Weight: 14 (15.75, 17.5, 19.25, 21)/35.5 (40, 44.5, 49, 53.5) cm Worsted Weight: 14 (16, 18, 20, 22)”/35.5 (40.5, 45.5, 51, 56) cm

The worsted weight hat fits more like a classic beanie, while the sport weight hat has a slouchier fit. Both samples are shown in size 4 (Adult Small) modeled on a 21“/53.5 cm head.
