My First Hat and Socks

So I finally taught myself how to make a hat a few weeks ago, and that's the first one, I ever made. And as I usually do, I just made up my own pattern as I went.


I also made a pair of socks and a little wristband(not pictured) to go with the hat, because I had a TON of left over yarn.

Here's the pattern for the hat:

Lace Hat:

Note:This version was made for a head approx. 22".

Yarn:I used a discontinued Lion Brand Yarn, but any worsted weight will work. The color was Pastel Pink.
