Loom Knit Doll Hat Project -- The Fuzzy-Wuzzy

I've got a goal to have knitted at least fifty doll hats within the next fifty days to sell at a huge neighborhood yard sale in the fall.  To my surprise, I found there were very few doll hat patterns available for free on the internet.  Therefore, I've decided to share my notes on creating and converting hat patterns to fit 18" dolls (such as the American Girl, Journey Girl, Our Generation, or My Life dolls).

The Fuzzy-Wuzzy Hat

Next up is this super simple little hat.  The only thing that makes it fancy is the yarn used. I got this Bernat Boa style yarn on sale for a dollar.  Despite being labeled a #5 "chunky" size yarn on the packaging, it is quite fragile until it is loomed.  Then it makes a lovely, fuzzy, stretch-y fabric that looks good and feels heavenly!
