Regan Aviator hat

This is an easy pattern for an aviator hat with 6 sizes from birth to 5+ years.

Instructions are given for both knitting flat and knitting in the round. Choose whichever is your preferred method..

The earflaps are button fastening under the chin to keep little heads from wriggling out of it, and tiny toddler hands from pulling it off after two seconds, but if you are knitting for an older child and want the earflaps to hang freely just make two of the left earflap and don’t add a button – simple! There are plenty of pictures to guide you.
