Bloomtrail Hat
Subscribe to my newsletter here for exclusive discounts, early access to test knits, and design previews! It’s not too late to sign up for a special introductory discount - valid through February 12, 2024!
The Bloomtrail Hat was inspired by long scenic walks with our pups. It is a classic ribbed hat with a twist; thoughtfully placed stitches allow the ribbed texture to transition seamlessly into a charming chevron motif emulating trees & pathways. It’s as fun to knit as it is to watch the pattern emerge. The pattern includes 5 sizes (baby through adult large) and provides tips to further extend sizing. You can also choose between 3 brim styles: double hemmed, folded, or single. Want a fitted and slouchy version? The pattern contains 2 eye catching flower inspired crown styles to maximize customizability. Knit this hat and take your best friend on a sniffari!
