Now, onto the design details…
This hat was designed to compliment my Snowbird Blanket
Shawl. Knit in the round from the bottom up in
a very simple three-stitch cable that resembles distant birds in flight. With a four-row repeat, this is the perfect project for mindless knitting that will pay off with a finished hat in just a few hours. Worked in super bulky weight yarn, for a quick knit that’s perfect for gift-giving. A tubular cast on, paired with the stretchy 3x1 cable stitch allows this hat to fit a wide range of head sizes. Hat is written in ONE SIZE to fit an average-sized adult head, between 18”/46 cm and 23”/58 cm. The hat is charted, and separate written instructions are included.
🧶 Yarn shown is Malabrigo Rasta in Fog
