Nine Lives Hat

After seeing a photo of our beloved FSM sporting his adorable pink hat, a friend of mine expressed her desire for an adult-sized version. This pattern is the delightful result of that request, perfect for knitters looking to create a stylish and cozy hat. Made from high-quality worsted weight yarn, it combines comfort and aesthetics beautifully.

**Yarn Requirements:** For this project, you'll need between 130 to 150 yards (119 to 138 meters) of worsted weight yarn for a small size, 160 to 180 yards (146 to 165 meters) for a medium size, and 190 to 210 yards (174 to 192 meters) for a large size. Be sure to select your favorite color to make this hat uniquely yours!

This hat is expertly knit in the round, which allows for a seamless finish and a professional look. The cozy brim features classic 1 x 1 ribbing that adds stretch and comfort, ensuring a snug fit. The main body of the hat is crafted in a smooth stockinette stitch, showcasing the beauty of your chosen yarn while providing warmth and softness.

For added charm, the stitches for the ear flaps are picked up directly from the hat and knit in the round, creating a cohesive structure that enhances both style and functionality. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, this pattern is designed to be engaging and rewarding, resulting in a beautiful and practical accessory that you'll love to wear or gift.
