This infinitely customizable hat was inspired by social media and the humor and utility of hashtags. Available in sizes Preemie through Large Adult, this hat can be topped with an optional tassel or two. Knit in a DK weight cotton yarn, your choice of colors adds to the hat’s whimsy.

This pattern is suitable for an enthusiastic beginner. The knitter should be able to cast on, knit in the round, and decrease by knitting two stitches together. Sewing the duplicate stitch and creating a tassel are explained in text and photographs.

This hat can be made with a single color for the hat and a small amount of a contrast color for the hashtag, but it really shines when a third color is added in the form of a tassel.
