Modification options:
- You can use a lighter yarn weight / tighter gauge to make a smaller hat for a small kid, toddler, or baby.
- You can easily add height to make a longer/slouchy style hat (notes included in pattern).
- There is an “anti-purl-all” modification given, so that you can knit all instead of purl all for the plain section above the trees.
- If you work the twisted stitches differently, the trees will look the same, but the reverse side will look different — the pattern includes notes and photos so you can choose this method if you like it better.
