Bumpass Hat

Introducing the Bumpass Hat, a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire that features the same unique lace cable pattern as the popular Bumpass Shawl. This stylish hat boasts a slouchy shape, making it a fashionable and functional accessory that accommodates a variety of head sizes. Knit from the top down in the round, this pattern encourages creativity and customization.

The sample hat is crafted using Knit Picks Wonderfluff bulky weight yarn, known for its incredible softness and warmth. However, the versatility of this pattern allows for easy substitution with yarn weights ranging from Worsted to Aran, providing options for those who prefer a less slouchy fit. Just remember to check your gauge for stitches and rows to ensure your hat reaches the desired dimensions, giving you the perfect fit every time.

Gauge is essential for your knitting success: aim for 14 stitches and 24 rows = 4 in (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch after washing and blocking your completed project. With this gauge in mind, you can confidently embark on your Bumpass Hat journey!

This pattern has undergone thorough testing, ensuring reliability and ease of use for knitters at all levels. Additionally, it has been professionally tech edited by the talented Tabitha’s Heart, whose expertise guarantees clarity and precision throughout the instructions. Be sure to explore her collection of patterns as well — you won't be disappointed!

Whether you're crafting a cozy hat for yourself or creating a thoughtful gift for a loved one, the Bumpass Hat is an excellent choice for your next knitting project. Embrace this opportunity to combine style and comfort, all while honing your knitting skills!
