Two versions of this pattern are available - download it for free on my website, where you’ll also find the tutorials, or purchase the premium version as a convenient PDF containing everything you need to know!

Sales of the premium pattern contribute to my new initiative, the Community Pattern Fund - each sale helps knitters with limited budgets have access to new releases of premium patterns or eBooks.

Knit on straight needles then invisibly seamed for a perfect finish. Short rows are used for the shaping, and the bobble is optional.

Remember, row gauge is the key!

I’m unable to offer pattern support for my free patterns via Ravelry PM or email - please visit the Wormhead’s Hats group if you have a question about this pattern. Thanks for your understanding!
