This design is part of the Head-turning Hats ebook. These warm and soft chunky hats are designed to encourage even couch potatoes into the great outdoors this winter. In small, medium and large sizes, there’s sure to be a design here for everyone you know, from the traditional Rambler and Hiker to the trendy Trekker.
This collection of 8 designs (6 of which can either be knitted flat or in the round) are great stashbusters too - use leftovers for pompoms, cords and tassels.

Rambler is a traditional bobble hat with a Fair-Isle border. After working the k1, p1 rib turned back brim, the main body is worked in stocking stitch and the hat is topped with a pompom. The diamond pattern can be worked from the chart or written instructions and the hat can be knitted flat or in the round.
