In January I knitted a hat for my nephew Eliot. After posting a picture on Facebook I received a lot of requests for the pattern. I like the look of a knitted ribbed hat, but not the look of the top that comes to a point with some of them. I searched the internet for an idea on how to make a ribbed hat flatter at the crown, but still retain the...

This fun hat is perfect for a spunky little boy or girl. The hat is a fun mix of geometric shapes and bold, contrasting colors. The Hat is a relatively simple pattern you’ll be able to finish in a reasonable amount of time. My nephew loves the black and orange color scheme shown in the picture, but any other bold colors would look just as great.
