Bicycle Hat

This whimsical knitted hat is crafted in the round and features playful pompoms in all three vibrant colors. Designed to fit heads with a circumference of 19" to 23" (48 cm to 58 cm), this hat is perfect for both adults and older children who want to stay warm while showcasing their unique style. The finished unstretched measurements at the brim are approximately 16" (41 cm) for small, 18" (46 cm) for medium, and 20" (51 cm) for large, ensuring a comfortable fit for various head sizes.

Utilizing stranded colorwork technique, the charming bicycle patterns on the hat are knitted by carrying the yarn behind the fabric, following either the provided charts or the detailed written directions. For those looking for an alternative approach, you can easily replace the contrast color (CC) with the main color (MC) and use duplicate stitch to add the CC design onto the hat later. This versatility allows knitters of all skill levels to enjoy this delightful project!
