Cozy Campfire Hat
As we head into fall and winter weather, I find myself craving a fun hat for hanging out with family and friends around the fire pit. Figured I might not be alone in my thinking, so here’s a design for you and your loved ones too.
Cozy Campfire is worked from brim to crown in the round; brim is ribbed and colorwork is stranded. While pattern calls for Worsted weight yarn, I have also made versions of the hat using Worsted for the main color and DK weight for the contrast color; the hat worked up fine and fit beautifully. Hat can be made with or without a pompom. As I worked up the pattern, I thought this could be knit up nicely in school colors too!
