**Song Inspiration:** This unique knit hat design is inspired by the classic tune "Funky #7" by Hot Tuna.
“Make me a funky drum hat,” were the creative instructions from my mom, the drummer in our family band. She envisioned a piece that was stylish yet comfortable—something trendy without being excessively flamboyant. I embraced the challenge, and thus Funky #7 was brought to life. This versatile hat is perfect for folding up and stashing in your bag, purse, or instrument case for those urgent moments—be it a bad hair day, a chilly breeze, outdoor performances, or even the unexpected events when your bandmates humorously decide to shave your head!
One of the standout features of Funky #7 is its adaptability. Crafted from your choice of yarn, this hat is designed to be worn by anyone and is suitable for all seasons. The accompanying photographs showcase the smaller, women's size, skillfully worked in Elsebeth Lavold’s luxurious Silky Wool. This premium yarn not only creates a lightweight hat but also offers excellent stitch definition, resulting in a beautifully crafted piece that has a relaxed, floppy structure. The medium/mens version of Funky #7 is knitted using Knit Picks City Tweed DK, known for its cozy feel and rich texture, ensuring maximum comfort and style for all wearers.
Whether you're gearing up for a performance or simply wanting to add a funky accessory to your wardrobe, this hat will not disappoint! Explore the full pattern today and add this delightful design to your collection.
