Hat

I used this pattern with worsted weight yarn and an I-9 (5.50mm) hook. When you come to round 5 do this instead:

Round 5-11: slst in next st, ch 2, puff st in each st around, join in first puff st of round (Do not cut yarn.) (30 sts)

Ribbing

It says ch 6, for the child size it needs to be ch 5 instead. Continue the pattern as written.

Bow (Optional)

If you decide to make the bow, continue as written, no changes.
