This design came about because I noticed that there weren’t very many hat patterns that could accommodate my hair. They were too short to cover my ears. Or the brim was so loose that the hat couldn’t be warm and cozy. I decided to create a hat that was infinitely customizable and suitable for big, beautiful hair. The brim is worked flat and not seamed. This allows for you to pin it closed for just the right amount of snugness. The body of the hat is knit extra long to give enough space to tuck your hair in to get it off of your neck. Wear with with the split open in the back and you still get perfect ear coverage. This hat is just right for giant curls, long locs, voluminous braids, and everything else. The pattern includes instructions on how to make the perfect size for your tresses. Fingering weight yarn is held double throughout for a finished hat this is plush and warm. This is the pattern that you’ve been saving that special skein for!
Size: 18” x 11”, instructions for sizing adjustments included in the pattern.
Gauge: 22.5 sts x 36 rnds = 4” in Pattern Stitch
Yarn: ~400 yds wool blend, fingering weight held double throughout. Any plied, animal fiber should work fine.
Needle: US 6/4.0mm 16” long circular
Notions: Closure of your choice: enamel pin, pretty button, DPN, etc; Stitch marker
This pattern is for PERSONAL USE ONLY.
