This celebratory pattern is for all those who have birthdays! It will fit a teen through adult sized head. Chocolate cake with lit candles encircle the colorful crown of this perfect-for-the-birthday-person hat! Make it a tradition to wear this special hat blowing out candles or all day or week long for a birthday celebration.

Does your birthday person live far away? Send this hat as a token of your affection! It’s a good way to use up some of your worsted weight stash. You’ll need four colors. I chose Alegria Grande from Manos Del Uruguay because of its vibrant colors and yummy softness!

Make the cake and candles any color you wish! The chart is an easy 6 stitch repeat and it’s big and easy to read. The colorwork is simple stranded. The chart is big and easy to read and in color. It’s also a warm winter hat even without the colorwork. After the easy ribbing, all stitches are knit, except for a smattering of k2togs!

You will need 16”/40cm circular needles and a set of four double pointed needles in size US7/4.5mm, stitch markers, and the head of your favorite birthday person for the end result!

Enjoy making and wearing this adorable hat!
