$8.50

Scofflaw is a playful and engaging knitting pattern, designed with a simple, easy-to-remember repeat that’s perfect for those moments when you want to unwind with some mindless knitting. The pattern’s delightful stripes offer endless opportunities for creative colour combinations, allowing you to experiment with your favourite shades or use up those leftover yarns in your stash.

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter looking for a fun, relaxing project or a beginner eager to dive into something new, Scofflaw is the perfect choice for creating a stylish and versatile hat.

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, 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.
