Fit for a winner! The Halfpipe Hat is a joy to knit in plush, bouncy Baa Baa Bulky merino. Topped with a huge, playful pom-pom, it’s easily the cutest thing on the slopes, and the stretchy sizing from baby to adult means the whole family can take home the gold.

Who it’s for: Level 1-2, First Stitches to Finding Your Rhythm. If you can knit and purl and you’re still looking things up, you have what you need. If you’ve finished a few hats, you’ll feel right at home. The new things are working in the round on a circular needle and double-pointed needles, and making a pom-pom. Stuck? Our Knitting Knowledge tutorials are here to help.

Get the yarn: The Halfpipe Hat Yarn Kit has 2 skeins of Baa Baa Bulky in your choice of color and a printed pattern.
