The three hats shown are hand knit. The black hat with four solid colors was done in garter st while the others were done in stockinette.
The turquoise and black hat was machine knit.
This hat easily fits an adult. It could be made smaller by using lighter weight yarn and smaller needles, then only working for 18".
