Bunny Love Hat

As a cuniculturist, I am drawn to anything adorned with bunnies! This hat expresses my love for my bunnies. It uses the Chinese Waitress CO, which provides a pretty edge and is very stretchy and comfortable, especially for those who wear glasses! *Note: using a different yarn weight for alternate sizes will expand or shrink the motifs in both width and height (see photos).* This pattern was rated intermediate by test knitters. **SIZES:** Toddler (Adult M): 16 (20)” circ. and 7 (8)” tall (adjustable)/ 39.5 (51) cm circ. and 18 (20.5) cm tall, blocked **GAUGE:** in stranded st st in the rnd on larger needles, blocked Toddler: 22 sts & 26 rnds = 4”/10 cm Adult M: 26 sts & 36 rnds = 4”/10 cm **MATERIALS:** **TODDLER SIZE MATERIALS:** 2 contrasting colors of sport weight yarn: Shown (top) in MC: Cascade Pacific Sport Yarn, 100 g (3.5 oz)/ 273 yds (250 m); colorway: 136 Ocean Depth; 1 skein and CC: colorway: 2 White; 1 skein.
