Crown Town Hat
Celebrate your Kansas City pride with this clever Crown Town Hat! Pattern is knit seamlessly, bottom-up in sport weight yarn, with a simple stranded crown, and duplicate stitched initials. Pattern includes instructions for a hemmed brim with an optional chart commemorating our 2015 World Series victory or an option for a simpler ribbed brim, and comes in four sizes to fit KC lovers of all ages!
SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate
SIZES + MEASUREMENTS
Pattern is written for 4 sizes to accommodate kids and adults. Directions are given for Infant size with changes for larger sizes in parentheses as follows: Infant (Child, Adult S/M, Adult L/XL). All sizes except Infant have a touch of slouch. I’ve included notes on modifying for a more snug fit.
CIRCUMFERENCE: 14 (16¾, 19½, 22¼)”
DEPTH: 6 (7, 8, 9)”
Choose the size that’s circumference is closest to your head circumference without going over– up to 2½” of negative ease is good. Sample shown is Adult S/M on a 21” head with 1½” negative ease.
