Beautiful cluster stitches provide texture and character, working their way around the Hat and upwards towards crown. The pattern is provided in two styles, fitted and comfort fit.

Hat Description
Tikeanie comes in two versions – beanie with a smooth fitted crown and comfort fit with a softly gathered crown. Both versions have a twisted rib brim that’s finished with a round of purl ridges. The body pattern features alternate cluster stitches that give a deep, textural finish. The clusters gradually get smaller as they move into the crown shaping.
