As of Feb 2019, this pattern (along with several others in my store) has been deactivated so I can update the PDF with a more standardized layout and style. Contact me directly if you would like to purchase it before the new version is out OR if you would like to be notified when the update is complete! Thank you so much!

I designed this when I was engaged and thinking about our “honeymoon baby,” should my new husband and I be so lucky. I chose to use a Herculean “love knot” and the “sheaf of wheat” motif because they represent love and fertility. Now, you don’t have to be trying for a baby to enjoy this pattern, but you could say it worked! Baby Owen was born almost exactly 40 weeks from our wedding day.

This hat fits loosely and could be considered a “slouch” hat. I wore it religiously last winter, even during a bitingly cold trip to Chicago for Vogue Knitting Live, and I just loved it. I hope you do, too!
