Old Town Hat
We have a cherished beach park nestled in the enchanting Old Town part of our town, a serene spot filled with sandy patches and tall grass that remains vibrant even as winter approaches. This picturesque park serves as the perfect backdrop for our walks, especially for our spirited dog, Lucy, who gracefully darts through the grass like a playful dolphin. As temperatures plunge with the onset of winter, we've pulled out all our warm accessories, yet there is always room in our collection for a new cozy hat.
Introducing the Old Town Hat: a stylish, bottom-up beanie that showcases dramatic and intricate cable patterns. This versatile hat features a classic ribbed brim but also offers a folded brim option, providing that extra layer of warmth you crave during those chilly winter days. Whether you’re heading to the beach park for a walk or running errands around town, this hat is designed for comfort and style.
The Old Town Hat pattern is not only engaging to knit, but its unisex design means it’s perfect for everyone in your family—men, women, and children alike can enjoy this fashionable accessory. Imagine knitting this beautiful hat for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one. It’s an excellent way to share the warmth and love of handmade items.
