Pattern Instructions

Block (optional, I didn’t block mine in the photo):
To block this hat, use a saucer. Like a teacup and saucer. ;) Put it inside the hat, so the
bottom “swirl” is in the center of the saucer and the saucer is bulging outward, spritz it
with some water, pat dry with a clean towel and let it dry overnight.

I know many of you enjoy working from a paper copy of your knitting pattern that’s why I offer a printer-friendly PDF completely ad-free on Etsy, Ravelry or Brome Fields.

That way you can have lifetime access to it and download it to any device and view it from anywhere, without ads (and the pattern might not be around forever).

The ads on this website make it possible for me to offer the patterns for free, that way you can try it before you buy it. :)
