  • Blossom hat pattern

    Blossom is a classic cabled hat, perfect for sitting around a campfire or a brisk walk in the early morning.*

    The Blossom hat is a worsted weight hat with a bold cable panel that knits up quickly in just an evening or two of knitting.

    • It's knit in the round from the bottom up.
    • The bold rope cable has a center vertical column running through it, which opens up to a delightful Greek phi Φ shape.
    • There are 6 ribbed panels to give the hat a bit of stretch and grip.
    • The crown is quickly decreased for a modern shape.
    • Instructions are included for a close-fitting beanie as well as a slouchier hat.

    The pattern includes 3 video tutorials:

    • My favorite stretchy cast-on method: the slip knot cast-on
    • How to work the Blossom cable without a cable needle
    • How to tell if you're ready for crown decreases
    Sizing

    The pattern has just one size. The finished circumference (at gauge) is 19 inches and will fit heads between 21 and 24 inches (52.5 and 60 cm).
