Introducing the Blue Moon hat pattern, your cosy companion for those chilly Alberta nights! Crafted with a delightful herringbone rib design, this hat not only keeps you warm but also adds a touch of style to your winter wardrobe. Whether you’re braving the outdoors or snuggled up indoors for a binge-watching session, the Blue Moon hat offers both comfort and charm. Knitting enthusiasts will delight in the potato-chippy knitting experience it provides, making every stitch an absolute joy. Embrace the warmth and craftsmanship of the Blue Moon hat pattern, and let it accompany you through the coldest of nights with flair and cosiness.

Worked from the bottom up, Blue Moon 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, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 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.
