Needles & Leaves Hat - Knitting Pattern

The 2x2 ribbing provides lots of stretch to the hat. Don’t be fooled by the 14” finish measurement of the larger size. It will easily stretch to fit an adult head of up to 23” circumference.

Needles & Leaves was the 8th and final pattern from the 2015 Fiddle Knits hat club: Head in the Clouds.
