Get the full knitting pattern inspired by Taylor Swift’s 87 Beanie that she wore while supporting boyfriend Travis Kelce at his football game.

My Sideline Spirit Hat Knitting Pattern is inspired by the handmade beanie gifted to Taylor by Kut the Knit, which was crocheted in Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs team colors, complete with his jersey number embroidered on its brim.

Knowing that Swiftie Knitters would love to create a similar version for themselves to sport, I’ve rushed this design to the top of my list to produce for you. Whether you’re proudly wearing or lovingly gifting, this sporty knitted beanie will be a prized accessory for years to come.

Knitting Needles: Size 9 US (5.5 mm) 16-inch circular needle and set of 4 double-pointed needles or size needed to obtain gauge

Color Choices
My sample mimics the same white and red yarn colors that Taylor wore to cheer on the Kansas City Chiefs. This design can be easily customized in the team colors of your choice.

Skill Level: Intermediate
This project is perfect for those comfortable:
• Knitting in the round on circular and double-pointed needles
• Changing yarn colors
• Decreasing stitches

Active Time to Complete
This hat can easily be finished in a couple of sittings, taking approximately 8 to 12 hours to complete.
