Cast on today and be ready to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day in style.☘️

My Lucky Hat is available in four sizes with your choice of two brim styles and three different charts: Lucky, Kiss Me, and Beer Me. The back of My Lucky Hat is worked in a ring motif.

The pattern is adjustable in the body to create a more fitted beanie-style hat. Add a pom or don’t - these hats are festive either way!

I used the Wool You Be Mine Deluxe version of the Lonely Hearts Club Kit to create this design. If you would like a kit, they are available for a very limited time on the Nomadic Knits website.

As always, you can knit your version in any yarn that makes you happy!
