My Bumpified Hat is a riff on the tuck stitch, stacking the “bumps” one on top of the other. But, you won’t find the word “bumpified” in the dictionary…because I made it up! It came about when I was a child and tried to explain that my sister’s case of the chicken pox made her look all bumpified! And, that’s how a new word was born.

This hat knits up quickly and is well suited to all levels of knitting skills. The pattern covers four different sizes, and also includes notes for creating additional sizes. It looks terrific as a close-fitting beanie, or as a taller hat with a bit of slouch. Get creative! A bumpified hat is the perfect place to use up oodles of leftover bits and bobs any DK yarn.
