Shortly after I knit this hat, my eldest son declared that the texture reminded him of the bark of a hackberry tree, hence its name. This hat has a fun pseudo-slouchy style, more of what I call a “poof” hat, characterized by a pretty round of yarn over increases at the end of the ribbed brim. Easy to knit, and easy to wear, Hackberry is perfect...

I designed Aibhie’s (Ay-vee’s) Hat to coordinate with my children’s Sunday Sweater pattern, though it can certainly stand alone and makes a great hat for adults as well as children.

I have designed a hat to coordinate with the Sunday Sweater called Aibhie’s Hat.

A simple and quick newborn hat, great for last minute gifts!
