Knit a hat using the yarn from a baseball! In addition to the yarn, you will need the following:

• Size US 6 (4.0 mm) 16” circular and/or double pointed needles
• Size US 7 (4.5 mm) 16” circular and/or double pointed needles
• Red Floss
• Tapestry needle(s)
• Stitch Marker

The Homerun Hat gives you three stripe options:

• Single
• Double
• Triple

…just like when a batter hits the ball. The Homerun is your finished project! This will use most all of the yarn.

Instructions in this pattern include deconstructing a professional league baseball, as well as cleaning and preparation before knitting. The wool can be a bit rough, so it is suggested to use a good wool wash and a quarter cut of hair conditioner to a gallon of water to help soften before drying.

Adding a fleece lining once complete will help make it more wearable, softer, and warmer. There are numerous options on how to do this on YouTube, depending if you want to sew the liner yourself, or use a store bought fleece hat already constructed.

The pamphlet is designed to be printed on 8.5” x 8.5” paper.
