Apollo Hat

This stranded hat, inspired by the Apollo colorway and NASA’s iconic space shuttle program, captures the essence of human exploration as it relates to the Moon landing. My fascination with the Universe has influenced this design, incorporating intriguing concepts like The Big Bang and Black Holes into the playful motifs that adorn the hat.

This stylish 2-color colorwork hat is expertly crafted in the round, seamlessly transitioning from the brim to the crown. The brim section features corrugated ribbing that adds delightful texture and dimension. As you knit, you'll begin by spelling out the word "Apollo," followed by a variety of captivating space-themed motifs that celebrate our cosmic surroundings. Utilizing bulky weight yarn, this hat not only knits up quickly but also offers generous negative ease, ensuring a snug fit for most head sizes and hairstyles.
