Introducing the Year of (Bulky) Hats!
We continue to be overwhelmed at the positive reception to our Year of Hats from 2019, and it was a no brainer to do it again in Germantown Bulky!

Worthy of Note
This heavily textured hat is knit in the round from the bottom up. After working a slipped stitch ribbing brim, the Anemone Stitch is worked for the body of the hat. Once the Anemone Stitch has been established, you will need to move the marker identifying the beginning of the round at the start of Rounds 2 and 4 in order to keep the anemone clusters in the correct position. Due to the nature of the decreases, you will not need to move the marker when working the crown.
