If you have been looking everywhere for a GOOD soccer ball hat knitting pattern, you finally found it! As far as I can tell, there isn’t one in existence that doesn’t require either applique of pentagon shapes (not realistic) or knitting tons of individual hexagons and seaming them all together (so time consuming). Well, I finally found a method that makes a super adorable soccer ball hat and is easily knit in the round! Hooray! Or should I say Gooooooaaaallll!

This cute soccer ball hat knitting pattern require basic knowledge of knitting with two colors and knitting in the round. Instructions are included for three sizes, 3-9 months, 12-24 months, 3-4 years. PLEASE NOTE: the sizing on this hat is different than many of my other hats, there are only three sizes available (because of the pattern repeat), if in doubt, size up.
