Wabbit Season

If you're searching for a delightful knitting project that combines cuteness with cozy functionality, look no further than this charming hat! While it may not be the perfect accessory for hunting wabbits (or ducks), it certainly evokes the essence of traditional hunting caps—especially when you tie the adorable earflaps up. Picture this hat with its whimsical buttons and playful pom-poms—it's practically overflowing with charm! (Okay, fine, it may not look like a traditional hunting cap, but it’s definitely way cuter!)

Worn with the flaps down, your ears will be snug and warm under double-thick layers that cleverly double as pockets! (What will you store in them? That's entirely up to your imagination!) Made from the luxurious Malabrigo Twist yarn, this hat is as scrumptious to knit as it is to wear. It’s crafted from the top down, allowing you to easily work in extra stitches that create those unique pocketed earflaps, added one at a time for a delightful knitting experience. Don’t forget to finish your hat off with some fun pom-poms or adorable tassels—because who doesn’t love a good tassel? I’m personally a big fan!

The sample hat was beautifully knit using Malabrigo Twist, known for its soft and rich texture. If you’re considering yarn substitutions, take a look at the alternative yarn options listed below. This hat isn’t just a pattern; it’s an invitation to cozy up in style while expressing your creativity!
