Today’s pattern is the Wolcott by Sarah Burghardt. Utilizing a mock-eyelet cable stitch, a rice stitch and short rows, this fun, innovative and quite stylish design offers a brim that can be worn down for a more slouchy look or rolled up for a more traditional look. Either way you choose to wear this hat, it is quite versatile and perfect for your fall or winter wardrobe. The brim of this hat is knitted perpendicular to the body and by knitting stitches on the brim together with stitches for the rest of the hat, the connection between the two is seamless. Sarah’s pattern is very well written and very easy to follow, making this hat the perfect portable project for your fall knitting. You can find Sarah online at Raverly, on her Blog and on Twitter.
