My 2 beauties modeling their hats!

SUPER SIMPLE HAT

 
Materials Needed: 2 3 oz. skeins of yarn, N hook

 
Size: Because this hat is worked holding 2 strands of yarn together it is very stretchy, and will fit small medium and large heads. The child's hat directions fit my 5 and 10 year old daughter without any modifications. See below for adult size hat.

 
 This hat is very quick and simple to make. I used one variegated and one solid colored yarn for my daughters hats and I used 2 strand of the same colored yarn for my hat.
