This pumpkin hat is the quintessential fall topper! The seasonal colors and detailed stem make it a fun way to ring in the fall season. It is knit from the bottom up with a rolled edge. Then the stem is knit separately and attached. This construction keeps the hat fitting comfortably with smooth top of head shaping and allows the stem to have more detail.
