The Hocus Crocus Cowl pattern was designed as a collaboration with Stitch Noir to showcase assigned pooling yarns and from that came the request to create a hat to match … so here is the hat pattern as requested.

Dyed to create the ‘flower’ stitch, the yarn produces green leaves and a splash of colour for the flower in the middle. The stitch is simple to accomplish, once you have created your first one it becomes addictive!

Knitting in the round is always a treat, and adding a splash of colour with the assigned pooling yarn that creates pretty flowers as you go along - that is magic - and Hocus Crocus is exactly that, a little magic as you knit!

I hope that you enjoy knitting this hat and the burts of colourful flowers that will emerge.
