Simple and quick!
I was able to make this hat within 2 days (while busy with work and life)! I had extra yarn leftover from my 100 grams of yarn provided so I ended up making one just as wide, but shorter.

The pattern was very easy to understand if you know how to knit. I never used a circular needle myself, but I watched Utube videos and figured it out. The review that spoke of it being too big for a child, didn’t agree with the hat I made. It wasn’t sized for a baby, but for younger children to a little older since the hat stretches.

Disappointed at this not being 'simple'
I am a beginner knitter, and thought this would be an easy project for me to participate. I do not have a circular needle, nor do know how to use one. I have made quite a few infant and toddler hats so that is the pattern I will follow and try very hard to accomplish the task. A bit let down, but the yarn I was given is lovely

How to Print
One way to print is to copy instructions into a word document and then print the word doc.

CANNOT PRINT THE PATTERN!!!
We cannot print the pattern. The only thing that prints is Joann fabric advertizement. I wonder how committed the corporation is to this project.

St. Jude's donation
I made this hat for St Jude's, but what I don't understand is that it is a children's hospital and the size of the hat is for adults.
