New Free Pattern: Picket Hat

By Kate Gagnon Osborn on February 18, 2013October 8, 2020

Originally knit way back in 2011, Maura kept wearing this hat to work all fall + winter and after we all threatened to steal it from her (more than once!) we though it was high time to write it up into a pattern.

The beauty of this hat is in its simplicity – a gorgeous yarn {Road to China in citrine) is worked in a 6 x 6 rib.

Instead of decreases, there is pleating at the top, creating a hat with perfect slouch and texture.
