The Log Fire hat was directly inspired by the cozy, warm and fuzzy feelings you get when you’re sitting by a fireplace. Whether it’s at a cabin in the woods, at home with your family, or at a campfire with your friends.

The hat is knit bottom-up, starting off with a single or folded brim (instructions for both options are in the pattern). After that you’ll work your way through the colourwork section, inspired by the wood in the fireplace.

The hat comes in 4 sizes. Measure around your mid-forehead to find the size that will work best for you. If you’re inbetween sizes, I would suggest taking the smaller size for a snug fit, or the bigger size for a looser fit.
