Kale

Introducing the Kale Hat—a unique and stylish accessory that draws its name from one of Jupiter’s captivating moons, pronounced KAY-lee, rather than the leafy green vegetable. In Greek mythology, Kale is one of the Charites and a daughter of Zeus, with some stories suggesting she is married to Hephaestus. This playful yet elegant hat offers a reversible design, showcasing an intriguing rib texture on both sides, adding versatility to your wardrobe.

The Kale Hat features the option of a contrasting cast-on and button tab, giving you the chance to personalize your creation further. With two different gauge options available, you can choose between a classic ribbed brim or a fully ribbed hat, making it an adaptable project suitable for all skill levels.

This knitting pattern is crafted to be worked from the bottom up in the round, ensuring a smooth and seamless finish. Once the hat is complete, the button tab is made separately and sewn on, providing a polished look. Additionally, both written and charted instructions are included for the rib pattern and rib decrease section, making it easier for knitters to follow along and achieve the desired result.
