Nancy Hat

If you're in search of a stylish and versatile hat that accommodates your long hair, look no further than the Nancy Hat! Featuring a deep 2x2 ribbing that adds a cozy touch, this hat has a slightly slouched silhouette for a modern look. After the ribbing, a beautiful textured stitch enhances the design, making it not only functional but also fashionable.

The Nancy Hat is specifically designed for those who want to enjoy the freedom of wearing their long hair both down and up. Whether you're sporting a loose, flowing hairstyle or securing your hair in a ponytail or bun with a large clip, this hat effortlessly adapts to your hairstyle while keeping you warm and stylish.

For this design, I opted for 128 Superwash by Cascade Yarn, but feel free to explore your options! You can easily substitute any bulky or chunky weight yarn, as long as you have approximately 128 yards. This versatility allows you to select a yarn that matches your personal taste and desired texture.

Here are several highly recommended yarn substitutions:

• Ultra Alpaca Chunky by Berroco
• Vintage Chunky by Berroco
• Lamb's Pride Bulky by Brown Sheep
• Tundra by the Fibre Company
• Mecha by Malabrigo

With the Nancy Hat, you’ll not only stay warm and comfortable, but you’ll also make a fashion statement no matter how you choose to style your hair. Perfect for chilly days, this knitting pattern is a must-have addition to your wardrobe. So grab your needles and yarn, and get ready to create your new favorite hat!
