The Scrumple Hat is a beautifully textured, thick and cosy hat keeping you warm on colder days. It can be worn simply as a classic beanie or finished with a pom pom for a bobble-hat.

This pattern is ideal for confident beginners who are ready to take on a slightly more interesting project. The finished hat has a rich, textured appearance, it uses only basic stitches and a simple pattern repeat.

The Scrumple Hat is available in sizes from toddler to large adult, making it a perfect make for the whole family. Work it in a single colour or have fun experimenting with colour changes or stripes to create a completely different style each time.
