With this hat, you don’t have to decide between wearing a ponytail and staying cozy on chilly days. The design offers multiple openings to accommodate ponytail placement at different heights. You can choose day by day: Wear a high ponytail, a low one, or anything in between. Easy to knit and a joy to wear, this ponytail hat combines function and fashion with a textured timeless design.
Why you will love this pattern:
-
Unlike many ponytail hats that have just one spot for the ponytail to stick out, with this hat, you are the boss of your ponytail placement just by undoing a button.
-
The detailed pattern provides row by row instructions and is beginner friendly.
The button band is worked right along with the body of the hat; no picking up stitches.
-
The tidy slip-stitch edges are very pleasing to work!
-
Multiple sizes: The pattern includes sizing with 4 different head circumferences and 2 different hat heights.
-
Makes a great gift for hikers, joggers, new moms, and anyone else who wears their hair in a ponytail.
