The hat binge continues! This hat marks a first for me…knit entirely on the bus and at work! My bus ride is 2 miles, turns out that’s actually a lot of knitting time in city traffic!
The inspiration for this hat is one of my favorite bands, Greensky Bluegrass! (See what I did there!?) They’ll be at the outdoor festival I’m going to, up at Lake Tahoe in a month! I expected to add a bit of text to this hat but it didn’t look right. I’m still contemplating an embellishment, maybe a banjo done in surface crochet?
Then again, I like the subtle reference. It’s just a hat, unless you’re really observant! Plus, it’s Tosh Merino, ohhhh so soft…I don’t know if I’ll actually take it off long enough to embellish it.
I think it’s perfect just the way it is :)

Is there a pattern you’d be willing to share?

I didn’t use a pattern, just winged it with this one. There are some similar patterns for hats with scallop detailing, their details won’t match mine but the final hat will.

This is not far from what I did, I changed the needle size, added a few more repeats, added the folding brim and of course did my decreases differently…but it’s a good starting point!
