Barnstormer Hat At Rest

Discover the ultimate in cozy headwear with our warm, squishy aviator-style hat, featuring a unique design with knit-as-you-go earflaps created through short rows. This is the "At Rest" version of the beloved Barnstormer hat, complete with a stylish garter ribbed brim and delicately curled wings, perfectly portraying the essence of relaxation. The stitch pattern for this charming accessory is both written and charted, making it accessible for knitters of all levels.

Our e-book offers a delightful array of three distinct versions: Barnstormer, Barnstormer-In Flight, and Barnstormer-At Rest, each meticulously crafted in three sizes (S, M, L) to ensure a perfect fit for everyone. Whether you're preparing for an outdoor adventure or just looking to add a touch of flair to your winter wardrobe, this versatile hat has you covered. You can also get creative and embellish your hat with fun tassels, fluffy pom poms, or whimsical braids to give it a personalized touch.

This unique design was inspired by my Great-Uncle Ole Fahlin, a daring barnstormer of the 1920s. His legacy lives on not only through this hat but also in his remarkable contributions to aviation—engineering prototype airplanes and crafting wooden propellers, skis, and snowshoes. Wearing the Barnstormer hat connects you to a rich history of adventure and innovation.

With an approximate yardage of 195 (215, 225) yards, this hat pattern has been meticulously tech-edited and test knit to ensure clarity and ease of use. Ideal for knitters looking for a reliable pattern, this design will not disappoint. For maximum comfort and quality, we recommend alternative yarns such as Cascade 220 Superwash Sport or Madelinetosh Tosh Sport, which will bring out the best features of this charming aviator hat.

Embrace the art of knitting with the Barnstormer hat and honor the daring spirit of the past while staying warm and stylish in the present. Download your free pattern today or explore our collection for more inspiring knitting projects!
