Bloom Hat PDF Pattern

This hat is another special collaboration with Oysters and Purls Yarns and uses one skein of her BFL/Merino fingering weight yarn.

I knew I wanted to create a hat with simple texture and bobbles for a while. When I started swatching, I was inspired by all the spring buds and blooms around my house and neighborhood. Bobbles and knitting through the back loop are incorporated in the design for something extra special and to add a bit of fun. I hope you enjoy knitting this hat and wearing it as much as I did and do!

Bloom is knit in the round from the brim to the top. Also note that this hat can be worked with or without the bobbles (if you prefer something less ornate).
