Happy New Year! The Sparkly New Year Hat is available FREE for the month of January, 2025.

What better way to ring in the New Year than with a chunky, sparkly hat. This quick-to-knit ribbed beanie is warm and soft, and the addition of the subtle sequin sparkle gives it that extra pizzazz we’re all looking for in the middle of Winter. (The gauge isn’t affected by the sequined Paillettes, so if you’d rather skip the sparkle just follow the pattern as written with a bulky weight yarn.)
