Harvest’s Bounty was created for my daughter’s first autumn. It’s a quick and simple pattern, and would make the perfect gift for any new baby, or an excellent novelty hat for any other age group. The hat is also ideal as a Halloween or harvest accessory.

The hat is knitted in the round in a wide rib pattern, with a 2 x 2 ribbed edge. The stalk is incorporated with a simple colour change for the very top of the hat; the leaf and tendrils are knitted separately and stitched in place to give the hat a 3-dimensional feel. The leaf design is unique to this pattern and is double sided so that it lies completely flat.

The instructions cover five sizes, from baby to adult.
