Heads Up Hat Pattern
by Claire Crompton
Directions for this project inThe Knitter's Bible: Knitted Accessories, shown below. An easy, quick and versatile hat—you’ll want to make it over and over again.Merino Style yarn makes this hat lusciously soft and defines the knitted embellishment. The fit is snug. The hat is knit flat with decrease rows at the crown and then seamed in the back, but the pattern could easily be converted to knitting in the round. The cap can be knit plain or embellished with a flower appliqué. Shown in Hollyberry.- Needles:
