Crafted from the remnants of my latest creations—Mervin, Kallen, & Aideen—the Cathmore hat emerged as a stroke of brilliance. Faced with a pile of leftover scraps, I refused to let them languish in my stash.

In the throes of inspiration, I embarked on the Cathmore hat project, transforming forgotten bits into a stylish masterpiece. As I knitted away, excitement and curiosity fuelled each stitch. Would these once-discarded remnants harmonise to create something spectacular?

With the final triumphant stitch, the Cathmore hat was born—a testament to creativity and resourcefulness. It stands proudly as proof that even the tiniest scraps can unite to produce something extraordinary. Don this hat, and embrace the magic woven into every stitch—a tale of transformation from scraps to style.

Worked from the bottom up, this versatile hat pattern allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.
