Little Logan has his first hat of the season. I think hats are the only thing he outgrew from last year. I saw the Fortnight from Brooklyn Tweed and knew I wanted to make it for Nathan this year. Like most things, Logan got it first.
Because it is an adult's hat, I had to make modifications to make it work. Using the percentages theory from Elizabeth Zimmermann, I just based each change in adult sizes with percentages and applied them in the opposite direction. It worked perfectly.
The little earflap short rows have me sold. I think I'll add them into every hat. The cable pattern was easy to memorize and fiddle with if needed to. I know I'll be making this again!
