That Simple Hat

Introducing Anna’s Hat: a delightful and cozy knitting pattern designed to work up quickly with large yarn and oversized needles, perfect for the winter season! Choose between 8.0mm or 9.0mm needles based on your preference; however, be prepared to use two skeins if you opt for the 9.0mm size.

This charming hat features a stylish ribbed brim leading into a smooth stockinette stitch, culminating in swirling decreases that shape the crown. Designed to brighten up any winter outfit, Anna’s Hat is simply irresistible for adding charm to snowy adventures, whether you're enjoying a snowball fight or gliding around an ice skating rink.

Please note that the second photo included—showing the two size variations together—slightly underrepresent the size difference. The Size Large boasts a generous 2” increase over the Small, featuring a taller brim and additional knit rounds leading up to the decreases, ensuring a snug fit and a comfortable slouch.

This lovely hat was inspired by my cousin Anna, who personally requested a cute handmade present during our last family reunion. Her sweet request sparked the creation of this unique pattern that combines functional warmth with stylish flair!

Whether you're looking to surprise a loved one like a cousin, sister, or aunt, Anna’s Hat makes for an unexpected yet delightful gift.
