I've already written a couple blog posts featuring this hat, and I am happy to say that I have finally published it! Hard to believe I started working on this hat back in October. It started off as a funny joke to make a hat with ears that look like my dog's ears. It went from a gag to hey! I really like this design, let's publish it! I hadn't made a pom pom in years, so learning how to make one the proper way was fun.
Honeycomb Hive Hat is a close fitting hat with little ‘ears’ that are decorated with pom poms. A double layer band and 2-color honeycomb stitch pattern create dense fabrics that will keep your head nice and toasty warm.
The hat is worked from the bottom up in the round. With no shaping and an intuitive stitch pattern, this hat is a relatively easy knit. The top of the hat is finished with a three needle bind off.
Honeycomb Hive Hat is sized to fit the whole family. When choosing your size, it is recommended to have 2” negative ease. Sample shown in adult S.
