SO WHAT IS IT?

PURCHASE ONE HAT AND RECEIVE A FREE PATTERN

It looks like a baby sweater but it is not for a baby. The sleeves are too long, the neck is too small and will not fit over a baby's head.

Slide the toggle to tighten the neckband and put it on your head. Whichever way you tie the sleeves, it is an attractive hat. With a ponytail coming out of the neckline, it is adorable and eliminates the ponytail bump.
