What’s better than a free hat pattern? 12 free hat patterns, of course! This year we’re releasing a new, free hat design on the 3rd Tuesday of each month made in Germantown.

The September Hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. When working the crown decreases, change to double pointed needles when the circumference is too small to fit onto the circulars.
