I’m tickled to offer No Purls 4 Sailors in adult sizes, medium and large. This pattern is based on my No Purls 4 Me which was written as a child-size pattern.

The Hats for Sailors group provides hand-knit and hand-crochet hats for Navy and Coast Guard personnel one ship at a time. The group wanted quick and easy patterns to encourage new knitters or knitters who are picking up the craft again after a hiatius.

At times everyone wants an easy-peasy basic hat project that can be worked on anywhere … something that can be picked up while relaxing with a favorite tv show, sitting in a waiting room or riding along on a road trip.

No Purls 4 Sailors is nice and stretchy and very forgiving in size. If you’re knitting for charity or unsure of the size for someone in your life, this hat would be a good choice. The wearer can adjust the fit by rolling the bottom edge up or down. And it’s also a good way to use up leftover yarn to make a one-of-a-kind hat.
