kinda excited !! I kinda free styled my own pattern for this sun hat. I used the crown idea from one pattern, free styled the main part of the hat and used the brim from a different pattern. this hat fit's about size 0-3 months And my good friend Jenna made some changes to the bream for a boy, it gives it more of a fisher mans hat style!!
