Free knitting pattern: Garter Stitch Hat for 18", American Girl Doll

Hey all!
Recently I've finally gotten around to knitting up some 18" doll clothes. My most recent pattern is a simple garter stitch and eyelet hat, so I thought I'd share it with you.

Although this pattern is written for knitting in the round or on 4 double-pointed needles, there is a note at the bottom for how to convert it to flat or two-needle knitting.

Here's the pattern:
