Hummingbird Hat
A free version is also available.
The Hummingbird Hat is a stretchy, striped hat designed to meet the donation requirements for Knots of Love, a nonprofit organization that distributes hats to people suffering from traumatic hair loss and blankets to infants in neonatal intensive care units. This hat uses a simple stitch pattern that can be worked flat OR in the round, so you choose how to make it! This is part of a Knit-a-Long sponsored by Lion Brand. Find out more about the Knit-a-Long here. Chat with other knitters in the KAL thread here on Ravelry.
This pattern is available for FREE on my blog here.
The free version is supported by advertising on my website. The downloadable PDF for sale on Ravelry includes the full pattern in one printable file without advertisements.
