No longer satisfied with hiding the iconic I´m Batty for Halloween design in our shoes, I felt it time we have a hat to help keep us warm during Halloween, especially for any trick or treat adventures.

I´m Batty for Halloween Hat is a fun to knit, hat that can be worked in any two contrasting colours of your choice. With this pattern you can make a cozy and warm beanie with a long folded brim that will help keep your ears warm on cold, spooky days.

Knit from the bottom up and worked in the round, the brim of this beanie is started in plain, stockinette stitch. The main part of the hat features a simple, stranded colourwork pattern, which ends before the hat decreases. The hat is worked with magic loop method or dpns for the decrease stitches at the top of the beanie and then the remaining stitches are sewn together. This pattern includes three sizes, from small to large adult size.

Included in the pattern is a tutorial link on how to fold the brim.
