VulcanSpy Hat

Introducing a cozy and stylish hat pattern designed to keep you warm during those chilly days! This intricate hat is crafted using DK weight yarn and features an easy cabled ribbed pattern in three beautiful colors. One of the standout features of this pattern is the innovative ribbing in the brim, which is worked with short rows on both sides to create a slight curve that forms ear flaps. These ear flaps provide extra warmth and comfort, making it the perfect accessory for anyone looking to stay toasty.

The pattern begins with smaller-sized needles to ensure a snug fit, and it continues without increases until reaching the body of the hat. This clever technique, paired with a change in needle size during the ribbing, ensures a great fit that hugs the head comfortably.
