I designed this one for the boys, and once again it came back from my knitter and I wanted one!
This straightforward pattern has no complicated abbreviations or tricky techniques. I designed it to be floppy but if you prefer the hat to be more like a beanie then you can simply knit it to a shorter length. This is another pattern that has become a Purl &Jane classic. It’s lovely to see when I’m walking around Skipton, where the Purl &Jane Design studio is, to see this hat “out in the wild” on people. The best ones are when I recognise the hat but not the person because the knitter had knitted it as a gift to a friend or relative!

This hat is knitted flat in one piece with a seam.
