Bywater

Discover the enchanting Bywater hat pattern, featuring exquisite lines that beautifully illuminate the various shades of blue found in the high-quality Nice and Knit DK yarn. This stylish hat showcases exquisite craftsmanship with deep ribbing and a slipped stitch edge that provides a seamless transition from brim to luxurious cables. The intricate cables are not only visually captivating but also incredibly enjoyable to knit — you'll find it addictive to see how each next cross unfolds!

The fashionable slouchy shape can be worn in two versatile ways: let it hang long and loose for a relaxed look, or fold the brim back for a snug, fitted style. Whether you're looking for a cozy accessory to keep you warm during chilly days or a chic piece to accessorize your outfit, this hat fits the bill. You’ll also find detailed information on a variety of modification options included in the pattern, empowering you to customize your creation to suit your unique style.

Bywater was thoughtfully designed as part of the Stash and Burn September Hat Knit-A-Long (KAL), and its delightful cocktail name was chosen through a fun Ravelry contest, thanks to moogleknits. To show appreciation, a delightful package filled with yarn and treats is heading her way. The chosen drink — a signature cocktail from New Orleans featuring Rum and Chartreuse — perfectly complements the spirit of the Bywater hat. It's a special touch that adds to the charm of this lovely knit!
