The Snow Flowers hat is a riff on my fun-to-work Seashell Tide hat, but with lots of upgrades!

Aspenglow Biggie is a bulkier, even quicker-to-knit version of the Aspenglow Hat. The stitch pattern is simple but so much fun to work, and the pattern is beginner-friendly. This is a great way to show off highly variegated or speckled yarns, but the texture works well with solids and tonals, too.

Using an easy-to-learn twisted rib stitch throughout, this hat is easy to make and creates a comfy, squishy texture that you will love to wear. Because it’s a ribbed hat, it’s very stretchy, so the sizing accommodates kids and adults, and the pattern works for men and women alike. Great with a pompom or without!

You will love seeing the pattern of wavy lines develop as you knit the Trellis Beanie. The slip-stitch pattern quickly becomes intuitive, so you refer to the instructions less as you go. And it works up fast and cozy using worsted-weight yarn. The stretchy hat will fit older children through adults.

It is an “infinity” scarf because instead of being just a long rectangle, the ends of the scarf are grafted or seamed to create a long “O” shape which can be looped around the neck.
