This is the little black dress of winter hats. I have one that I wear constantly, and it works with everything in my winter wardrobe. It is knit in the round, with the little bow edge knit at the end. We made ours using Rowan- 4 ply wool yarn( on special right now!), we prefer black , of course. You will need 2 balls, some needles and off you go! The best part about it is we are giving you the pattern for free!
Free Pattern: The Inaugural Hat

I made this hat in dark green and wear the bow at the back. Stylish and warm! Now knitting one for my daughter.
Thanks. It’s very sophisticated. I’m going to start it today.
I have some purple yarn I want to make this with! Toooo cute!
I have some great khaki/stone colored Rowan yarn that would look very nice…I’ll have to add this to my list of quick projects to start soon
I love everything about your shop. I was wondering with all the knitting patterns, can they be crochet ? Could you let me know?
THANK YOU
Thank you so very much for the oh-so-elegant hat. My daughter is sure to love it.
why do you use a size 0 and 1 needle with a 4 ply yarn? It seems the needles are too small for that weight. Please help because I love the pattern. Thanks so much.
It is to make the hat stiffer to hold the shape of the bow better.
