Wizard in a Blizzard

**Wizard in a Blizzard: An Extremely Cool Hat Pattern by Lisa McFetridge** Looking for a fun and stylish knitted accessory to keep your little one cozy during the winter months? Introducing the "Wizard in a Blizzard" hat – a charming stocking cap that’s perfect for any aspiring wizard! Inspired by a delightful moment when my daughter spotted a runner wearing a basic stocking cap, we decided to elevate the design. It had to be more magical, more enchanting, and thus, the idea of a charming Wizard Hat emerged. This whimsical hat features a stunning starry night background, making it the ideal choice for kids who love adventure and fantasy. The clever tilt design adds a trendy twist, allowing the hat to tilt to one side for that effortlessly cool look. With a recent Blizzard that inspired this creation, it’s only fitting that we call it the "Wizard in a Blizzard"! **Material Information:** Knit this enchanting hat using a light worsted weight wool yarn, such as Cascade 220 or Knit Picks Wool of the Andes or Swish. The pattern is available in three sizes: Small Child, Child, and Adult, ensuring everyone in the family can join the fun. The hat begins with a very delicate rolled edge that transitions into a playful corrugated ribbing. **Color Customization:** For a truly unique touch, randomly changing the colors of the stars creates a mesmerizing star field that boasts considerable depth. You can unleash your creativity by substituting a yellow, orange, or gold self-striping or variegated yarn for the personal color choices (CC1, CC2, and CC3). Just make sure to tally up the yardage for all three colors if you decide to take this path. **Knitting Instructions:** The cleverly crafted decreases result in a beautifully shaped top that complements the whimsical design. Whether you're knitting for a child who loves magic or an adult looking for a fun winter hat, this pattern is sure to delight.
