Color Option One
SITUATION INFATUATION Hat Pattern
This is, by far, one of my favorite patterns to date. It’s quick knit and you can make one for all of your loved ones. I think I made seven or eight of them to date. Once you finish the hat, you can embellish it or keep it plain - totally up to you!
This pattern is available as a paid pdf download (purchase here) or in my book Knits That Rock: Volume 1. The video tutorials will help you through every step of the pattern - including the embellishment process!
