Lina Knits Anniversary KAL!
Knit-Along: Knit any Lina Knits pattern and post about it on Instagram. Tag me @linaknits and use hashtag #linaknitskal
From March 13 to April 26, 2026 – It’s ok if you don’t finish your knit before the KAL ends :)
After the KAL ends, I’ll draw a prize and everyone who posts using the KAL hashtag (#linaknitskal) will be entered into it.

This hat is worked from the bottom up. It can be made in any yarn you can get gauge with: holding multiple strands together, like for the sample, or with a chunky-weight yarn held single. The height can be adjusted by working more or less of the 2-round pattern repeats. The hat is finished with k2tog decreases at the crown.
