I have been making these hats for many years now and have been asked to write down the pattern forever. I am happy to finally have it done.

I started making these on my Addi knitting machine, and when the machine began to agitate my wrist, I taught myself to make them by hand. I am recreating the very simple machine pattern exactly here, but including some instructions on how to adapt it if needed.

I’ve included step by step pictures to show how I make mine. My favorite yarns for this are Malabrigo Worsted and Rios, and both require about one full skein, depending on your gauge.

This pattern relies on loose knitting. Please check your gauge.

The pattern is written for one size, but it comes out very stretchy and should fit youth through adult. It can also be very easily adapted to make it custom.

I hope you enjoy knitting this hat and it keeps you cozy on all of your cold weather adventures.

Pattern includes instructional photos best printed in color.
