A fun summer inspired hat! Vanmelon is Norwegian for watermelon and the inspiration for this quick to knit hat that can be made slouchy or fitted depending on your preference and how many pattern repeats you knit. A double thick band is the perfect way to keep you warm for the cold winter months and using a contrasting color for the band is a great accent.

The finished hat measure 9 3/4” wide by 8 1/2” tall as written. The great part about this pattern is the customizability. You can add another pattern repeat to make the hat wider, or take one away to make it smaller. You can also keep knitting pattern repeats to make the hat slouchy. How fun!
