“an effortless ribbed hat with a touch of big city style.”

The Manhattan Hat is named after the NYC borough that I call home. This pattern was inspired by store-bought hats that I saw on stylish people all around the city and I wanted to make my own hand-knit version. The Manhattan Hat has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe and I hope you find it to be just the same.

The pattern includes 6 sizes from baby to adult large as well as 3 brim options to customize to your liking! You have a choice of 2 crown shaping options: either Inside Out using knitwise decreases or Right Side Out using purlwise decreases. Whichever option you choose, your end result will be the same fabulous hat!

The Manhattan Hat pattern is also available in bulky weight & sport weight! Enjoy 30% off your purchase of any 2 Manhattan Hat patterns or 40% off your purchase of all 3 Manhattan Hat patterns. Simply place the patterns in your cart & the discount will automatically apply. Enjoy!
