Benlocke hat

Introducing a truly distinctive and very manly hat, designed with the creative input of my 12-year-old son! This hat boasts a unique look, featuring a striking Gator blue color, a practical fold-up brim, and a strong insistence on avoiding any girly designs. My son took the lead in the design process by sketching his vision and naming the hat himself. Together, we selected the perfect stitch pattern to enhance its rugged style and appeal.

This versatile hat is knitted in the round, perfect for knitters of all levels. You can choose to work it using a 16" circular needle with double-pointed needles (dpns) for the decreasing section, or opt for the entire project to be completed using the magic loop technique for added convenience and flexibility.

We’re excited to offer this hat in three sizes to suit different head circumferences: Small (18”), Medium (20”), and Large (22”). Please note that all sizes are measured unstretched, ensuring a comfortable fit for everyone who wears it. Whether you're knitting for yourself or as a fantastic gift, this manly hat is sure to impress and keep you warm during those chilly days!
