Snidget Hat

This fun and creative top-down hat design not only allows knitters to showcase their skills but also serves as a perfect opportunity to learn something new! Constructed from the crown down to the brim, this unique pattern features an engaging butterfly stitch and a decorative bind-off that adds a charming touch. One of the best aspects of this construction method is that it lets you try on the hat as you knit, provided you use longer cords or double-pointed needles (dpns)—perfect for ensuring a snug fit!
