| Granny Square Hat Sally Ives/March 2001 |
I made this hat for my sister who has a hard time keeping warm. The hat was made
with worsted weight acrylic, so will be fairly warm, yet the colours and design are
light and airy.
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn in 3 colours (I used A=white, B=light mint and C=peach)
crochet hook, size G, will fit an average adult head.
