Jester Hat

jester_finished Pattern: Jester Hat from Knit Baby Head & Toes! edited by Gwen Steege
Yarn: Rowan Wool Cotton
Gauge: 24 stitches per 4 inch inches on size 3.75mm needles
Note: The pattern calls for a gauge of 22 stitches per 4 inches on size 4mm needles but I thought that produced loose stitch tension. I was aiming to make the small sized hat so to compensate for the gauge change, I followed the instructions for the medium size except for the height. When the instructions refered to the height, I followed the instructions for the small size.
