Bunny Hill Hat

This adult-sized winter hat is an incredibly cozy accessory designed to keep you warm and stylish during the cold weather months. Featuring a beautifully cabled brim and a snug 1x1 ribbing, this hat is slightly thicker than standard knit hats, ensuring a comfortable fit that hugs your head perfectly. The construction process begins by knitting from the brim up, allowing for a unique inside-out technique. Once you’ve completed the hat, simply flip it inside out and fold the brim up to reveal the stunning cable design on the exterior. To aid in your crafting, both a detailed chart and written instructions for the cabled brim portion are included, along with a comprehensive description of the cable stitches found in the abbreviations section.

Materials Needed: For this project, you will need 166 yards of worsted weight yarn, US 7 – 16” circular needles, US 7 double-pointed needles, a cable needle, a place marker, and a tapestry needle. These materials ensure a durable and warm knitted hat that is perfect for winter.

Gauge w/ US 7 needles: Achieve your desired fit with a gauge of 28 stitches and 22 rows, creating a 4” square in 1x1 ribbing. Alternatively, if you prefer stockinette stitch, aim for 19 stitches and 24 rows for the same 4” square measurement.

Skills Needed: This hat pattern is perfect for knitters with an intermediate skill level, as it includes essential techniques such as cable knitting, knit and purl stitches, k2tog/p2tog decreases, and knitting in the round using both circular and double pointed needles. You’ll also need to know how to cast on and off effectively.

Whether you’re crafting for yourself or looking to make a thoughtful gift, this cozy winter hat pattern will not disappoint. Get started on your next knitting project today!
