Mt. St. Helens Hat is a cozy and squishy hat with easy cables and a deep foldover brim with a fold line that helps keep it nice and neat. It’s inspired by the volcanic eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980 that spewed soft ash and altered the terrain for miles as the hot, molten lava carved out new gullies and deep ravines.

The hat is truly unisex, is offered in three sizes, and can be made in Worsted or DK yarn weights. Size and height of hat are easily adjusted (instructions are included). The size will vary depending on yarn weight and gauge.

Add a pom pom to top it off if you wish… maybe use a furry one or make your own.

Pattern is fully written and charted (including the crown!).

This pattern has been professionally tech-edited and tested.
