Lately, I have seen this hat EVERYWHERE. Every store that sells cute hats has this hat design. So, this isn’t really one of my “designs,” because I didn’t design it. It’s more of a public service. If you have seen this hat in a store and thought - “I don’t buy hats! I KNIT hats!” Then here is a pattern for it in three sizes that has been professionally tech edited and test knit. You are welcome. ;)

Also, since I didn’t actually design it, it felt right to give it to you for free. This pattern is forever free, so I hope you enjoy it!

PS: The cute tag is from Brick Bubble. It says, “Crafted by a Yarn Wizard.” So cute, right???

Pattern Notes

This adorable, modern, slightly slouchy hat works up super fast for a last-minute gift! No cables, no lace, no brioche – just easy, quick knits and purls create this polished toque. Worked in Aran weight yarn at a tight gauge, this hat is both super warm and super stylish! Add a faux fur pom-pom for extra panache and flair.
