Diamonds Forever Hat
This beautiful knitting pattern, **Diamonds Forever**, is inspired by my daughter, Tress, who was diagnosed with Colitis in the summer of 2014 at just 11 years old. Receiving a diagnosis of any disease can be a challenging experience, especially for a young child. During this tough time, Tress wore the original version of this hat almost constantly to keep warm as her weight fluctuated. The hat was not just a source of comfort but also a symbol of her resilience, as she sported it during countless visits to the IWK Children’s Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
My Tress is a remarkable young girl—smart, funny, with a heart of gold and an inner strength that shines brighter than any diamond. You are forever beautiful just the way you are, Tress. Never doubt your brilliance; let your light shine in everything you do! I love you dearly.
The **Diamonds Forever** hat is designed to be knitted in the round, making it a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels. As a fairly tight knitter, I recommend swatching in the round first to obtain the best gauge and fit. This pattern is especially great for those looking to explore the world of lace knitting, perfect for both beginners and seasoned knitters alike!
When completed, the hat measures approximately 26.25 cm (10.5 inches) in width and 22.5 cm (9 inches) in height, making it a cozy and stylish accessory for any wardrobe. Whether you're knitting for yourself or creating a heartfelt gift for someone special, the **Diamonds Forever** pattern is sure to bring warmth and joy.
