Ziggy

$8.50

Bold, textured, and full of movement, Ziggy is a hat knitting pattern that brings cablework to life! Featuring striking cable columns that travel seamlessly from the body of the hat to the crown, this design creates a rhythmic, flowing texture that’s both fun to knit and stylish to wear. Whether you’re a cable enthusiast or looking for a new challenge, Ziggy is the perfect project to keep your needles dancing.

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.
