$8.50

Wrap yourself in warmth and creativity with the Bellamy Hat, the perfect cosy accessory for beginner knitters. Imagine the gentle rhythm of your needles as you bring this beautifully textured hat to lifeโ€”every stitch a step closer to a soft, snug fit that will keep you warm all winter. The Bellamy Hat isn’t just a pattern; it’s an invitation to unwind, relax, and let your creativity flow. With easy-to-follow instructions, even the newest knitters can craft a piece that’s as stylish as it is comfortable. Knit your way to something special with Bellamyโ€”where simplicity meets elegance in every stitch.

Worked from the bottom up, this versatile hat pattern allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, youโ€™ll need to switch from using 16โ€ / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.

A notable feature of this hat pattern is its versatility in accommodating different sizes. For the pattern motif and crown, there are both written directions and charts available. You’ll be able to work independently with your preferred directions once the brim is done.ย
