Esker is a super bulky knit hat with a simple brim and body that is full of texture. The hat is knit with approximately 4”|10 cm of negative ease and has sizes for the whole family.

Esker is full of squishy texture that is created using slip stitches and cross stitches. It is a simple two row repeat that is easy to memorize and knits up quickly. The pattern is written to be a relaxed beanie fit but can be customized to change the length of the hat.

Topped with a faux fur pom pom from Peony Lane Poms, Esker will be the go-to hat for all those winter adventures.
