When it’s dark at night, you want to be seen. Whether you’re jogging, walking the dog, hunting, working a construction job, or anything else where the light is low, wouldn’t it be great if you had a reflective hat on which also looks good in regular light?

This hat is easy to knit, cozy to wear, and uses amazingly reflective yarn to provide unsurpassed visibility while not screaming “safety hat!” as you go about your regular business.

Pictures show the hat in low light, regular light, and in darkness with highest reflectivity.

Two sizes, so it will fit most teens and adults, and the ribbed pattern helps keep the fit right, too. Pattern includes instructions for working flat or in the round, whichever you prefer. A good pattern for a beginner or a quick knit for someone more experienced.

Makes a thoughtful gift!
