Anning Hat

The Anning Hat is a stunning and versatile accessory that features mosaic knitting techniques to create a vibrant, colorful pattern of woven squares. This beautiful hat draws inspiration from Mary Anning, a pioneering figure in paleontology who, at just eleven years old, unearthed the first Ichthyosaurus skeleton in Lyme Regis, England. Anning's remarkable contributions to the field make this hat not only a delightful project but also a tribute to her enduring legacy.

Knitters have the creative freedom to choose from a variety of color combinations. Options include using a neutral base hue paired with a gradient yarn, opting for two solid colors, or even experimenting with various contrasting colors to craft a truly unique piece. This project is an excellent opportunity for stashbusting, perfect for using up leftover bits and pieces of yarn that you may already have on hand.

The Anning Hat is designed to be knit in the round, allowing you to work with just one color at a time. This technique not only simplifies the knitting process but also makes it a fast and enjoyable project for knitters of all skill levels! Whether you’re looking for a quick gift or a personal cozy accessory, the Anning Hat is sure to become a cherished favorite in your collection.

**Sizes:** Available in two sizes: 18 (20.5)” / 46 (52) cm in circumference to fit a head circumference of 20 (22.5)” / 51 (57) cm. Ideal for both adults and older children, this stylish hat will keep you warm and fashionable during chilly months.
