Seventeen Hats: A Unique Knitting Adventure

Discover the joy of knitting with Seventeen Hats, a creative idea that sparked from exploring intricate cable patterns. As I delved into the world of cables, I envisioned them as delightful hats, and the inspiration just kept coming! Why stick to just one hat when you can knit an entire collection of seventeen charming designs? And every hat deserves a whimsical pompom topper, don’t you think?

This versatile hat knitting pattern is crafted in the round from the bottom up, featuring a stylish twisted rib brim that adds a touch of sophistication. The small cabled hats are beautifully displayed on a reverse stocking stitch background, creating a stunning contrast that enhances the unique textures. Each mini hat is finished with a fun knit-in pompom, using an inventive technique reminiscent of adding beads with a crochet hook. To add an extra pop of color and creativity, finish off your designs with a larger pompom on top! Feel free to experiment by using scrap yarn in various colors for the pompoms, allowing each hat to have its own personality.

Included in this pattern are detailed instructions for making the small pompoms without the need for a pompom maker, as well as a comprehensive photo tutorial that guides you through the process of securely attaching the pompoms to your hats.

Sizing: This knitting pattern is designed in one size, with variations based on the length of the rib section. It offers a roomier fit that's perfect for children and a closer-fitting beanie style for adults. The sizes are tailored to fit head circumferences of 44 cm around (relaxed, flat), accommodating head sizes of 53 cm (child), 56 cm (adult small), and 58 cm (adult medium).

Whether you’re an experienced knitter or just starting out, Seventeen Hats will provide you with endless fun and creative opportunities. Knit them all or choose your favorites to gift to friends and family—they're sure to be a hit!
