I created this hat as a sweet little anniversary present for my husband, Aaron. Aaron is the kindest, sweetest person I know, and he supports Beach House Knits wholeheartedly, even when I begin to doubt it and myself. One of Aaron’s favorite things is beer – he knows so much about it, and I thought why not create a hat in honor of him loosely designed around hops?
This hat is a quick knit, and is super fun if you are working with a color changing yarn.
This hat would be great for the beginner colorwork knitter. It’s also a great toboggan for men or women – based on your color choices, it can be very versatile.
This hat is knit in the round from the brim to the top.
