Happiness Plaid Hat by Tanja Luescher

There’s something about plaid patterns that just makes me happy. If you feel the same, this hat worked from the bottom up is for you. The pattern includes 6 sizes so you can make your whole family happy.

Many thanks to my tech editor Michelle Hazell and my testknitters aimeeRn and  aughnde. Any remaining mistakes are mine.
