This hat is named after a very special teacher who embodies the meaning of her last name: kind & benevolent. Mrs. Ellis is a light and an encouragement to everyone she meets. She goes above and beyond to make everyone feel seen, included, and belong.

The Ellis Hat is knit in the round from the bottom up with a classic 1x1 ribbing all the way through. It works up very quickly and is super cozy and squishy with a double brim. If you’re looking for a hat that will knit up in a jiffy and fit most adults, Ellis is a lovely choice.
