Floppy, funky, smocked and chunky! This hat is deceptively easy to knit, since the smocking is done after the fact, and the large needles and yarn mean it’s done in a flash.

Sambuca Noir is part of the Knit it Black collection, and as such a portion of every sale is donated to an animal rescue charity that specializes in black pets (or other hard-to-rehome pet populations, such as special needs or seniors.) You can learn more about the project and the plight of black pets on the Knit it Black Kickstarter page.
