This hat was inspired by a wonderful little store called The Hen House in Chepachet, RI that sells a wide range of lovely items made by local artisans and crafters. There’s even a section that sells local RI spun wool, local Indie dyed yarn, and a lovely variety of commercial yarns from a nearby LYS.
But the best part is that there’s a knitting group that meets there on Saturday mornings that we call “Click and Cluck”. It’s a delightful group of ladies, and a gentleman, who enjoy knitting and other crafts. And our hostesses at The Hen House kindly allow us to “cluck” away while our needles “click”, even when the laughter gets louder than the clicking.
This is a quick and easy knit that will hold your interest. And since it uses less than 150 yards (138 meters) of a light worsted weight yarn, it’s a great stash buster.
There are charts/directions for 2 lengths, a beanie style (as shown in the cream colored hat), and a longer slouch style (as shown in the gray colored hat). The hat is sized for Small, Medium, and Large, but can also be further adjusted by going up or down a needle size.
This pattern contains charts and fully written out directions.
