Armstrong hat

When the boys decided they needed stylish hats, they were very specific about their requirements. They even created detailed sketches to illustrate their vision! High on their priority list was a fold-up brim for versatility and a clear preference for designs that didn’t have any girly elements.

This fashionable hat, named by my son after Billie Joe Armstrong – one of his favorite rockstars – boasts a completely reversible design, allowing for two unique looks in one accessory. The hat is available in three sizes to ensure the perfect fit: Small (17”), Medium (20”), and Large (22”). All size measurements refer to unstretched circumferences, accommodating a range of head sizes comfortably.

This impressive hat pattern is worked in the round, making it a great project for knitters of varying skill levels. You can knit it using a 16” circular needle, with double-pointed needles (dpns) for the decrease section, or you may opt to use the entire magic loop method for added convenience.

Whether you’re knitting for yourself, a friend, or your little ones, this Billie Joe Armstrong-inspired hat combines practicality with a stylish rock 'n' roll flair. Perfect for everyday wear or dressing up an outfit, this hat is sure to become a favorite accessory in anyone's wardrobe.
