Full Heart Hat
Introducing the Full Heart Hat, an exquisite knitting pattern designed for those who want to stay warm and stylish. With its charming heart-shaped ribbed cables, this hat quickly becomes the go-to accessory for any wardrobe. Whether you're crafting for yourself, a child, or a teen, this unisex design is a versatile choice that allows for personal expression while providing practicality. To ensure a perfect fit, choose a hat size that is approximately 1-3” smaller than your actual head circumference.
The unique design of the Full Heart Hat is crafted to be worn with a flat brim, yet it also offers enough height to comfortably fold up the brim for a snugger fit. This hat is worked in one continuous piece in the round, starting from the brim and gracefully working upwards, ensuring a seamless finish that enhances the beauty of the ribbed cables.
Important note: If you're interested in adding a playful touch, you may want to consider making a pom-pom. Just keep in mind that you'll need extra yarn depending on the desired size of the pom-pom and the type of yarn you're using.
TO FIT: Child/Teen (Adult) sizes with an actual head circumference ranging from 16-19” (19-22”) / 40-48 [48-56] cm. The finished circumference of the hat is 15¼ (18¼)” / 38.75 [46.25] cm, with a finished height of 7¾ (9)” / 19.75 [22.75] cm, making it a perfect choice for cozy wear.
