I made this hat on my circular knitting machine with Feza Monarch yarn. I made it 22 inches then tucked it in on itself so that it's double thick. Then I added a pompon and it only took a few hours!!!
Finished this hat and it's super thick because of the HDC knit stitch in the round. I ran out of green so added blue and went to 11 inches. Fits just fine!
