this is lovely. i think there must be a typo on the gauge...40 sts/4" would make the diameter of the hat awfully small. i'm guessing the gauge is about 5 sts/"? i found it on ravelry...
You're right! I'm changing that right now.
Should be 20 sts/ 4"
This is gorgeous. Is it meant to fit a child? If so, what age? Or does it fit an adult?
