West Gresham

Introducing the West Gresham hat—an ideal companion to the East Portland hat, both of which are delightful DK-weight projects that are perfect for knitters of all skill levels. This charming hat features an abundance of texture and visual interest, making it not only fun to knit but also a stylish accessory for any wardrobe. With its intricate design, the West Gresham hat proves that texture is paramount, no matter where you find yourself in your knitting journey!

When it comes to accessorizing your knitting projects, the question of whether to add a pompom remains one of the most debated topics among knitters. Personally, I find myself always pondering this dilemma! A removable pompom is the best solution if you're equally torn. For instance, when using a yarn pompom like the one illustrated on the West Gresham hat, I recommend tying it on while leaving the tails loose. This way, you can easily untie it and choose to wear the hat without the pompom whenever desired. The pompom featured on the West Gresham hat is crafted with a Clover pompom maker, specifically the medium-sized option. This tool is part of the “Large” pompom maker set and is the light green, smaller one that measures approximately 2.5”/6.5 cm across.

Perfect for gifting or personal use, the West Gresham hat pattern is easy to follow and includes clear instructions to help you create a stunning accessory that can elevate any outfit. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your crafting adventure, this pattern will guide you through every step, ensuring your finished hat is not only visually striking but also a joy to wear.
