Here are my favorite Knitted Hat Patterns

Hats are one of my favorite things to knit. They’re fun and fast projects, and are so versatile. I mean you can do just about any technique or include any skill into a hat. It’s one of the reasons that I never get bored with them.

I design my knitting patterns to be easy to follow, with instructions that are written out and without requiring knitters to be able to read and follow charts. I’m sure in the future with some color work or other patterns, charts may creep in – but as for now, they’re nothing to worry about.

Aran/Worsted Weight:

Bjorn’s Hat

I cannot imagine what it would feel like to need a chidlren's hospital like Saint Judes and I hope that we never have to experience this. The families who do are so strong and so resilient, as are their kiddos. Please join me in helping to raise awareness and funds so that these families receive the care they need and not a bill.

The perfect unisex hat with simple cables! Bjorn’s Hat is comfy and cozy which makes it a great gift for loved ones, or to keep for yourself. You can knit this hat for babies through adult sizing. It’s simple with written instructions making gorgeous cables attainable for all knitters. Learn more about Bjorn’s Hat here.
