Little Rhett is available for purchase at Hudson + West Co. and Ravelry.
Little Rhett is a mini-version of my Rhett hat. Sized for toddlers to big kids, this hat is the sweet companion to its grown up original. It features the same handsome cables, which flow seamlessly from the 2x2 rib brim. The smaller sizes are slightly cropped for smaller heads, but still sport the same rugged warmth of the original
