Happy Toddler Hat!

Our church was having an auction as a fundraiser for our pre-school.  I knit up a scarf and a cute little hat.  It is a pretty basic beanie pattern, but the yarn really makes it special.  I used Caron Simply Soft Paints in Rainbow Bright.  It is such a happy little hat!  I hope you enjoy the pattern.
