Description
What’s better than a free hat pattern? 12 more free hat patterns! Our popular Year of Hats is back, featuring Germantown DK.
August's design is Prospero by our very own Kate Gagnon Osborn. This lovely, gansey-inspired hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. It begins with a provisional cast on, then a deep folded brim is worked in a K1, P1 Ribbing. After the brim is complete, the body and crown of the hat are worked in a texture pattern from charts. As always, a custom leather tag completes the look!

I anxiously await the monthly hat pattern from Kelbourne. I have made several, learning new stitches and techniques. As a new knitter, I found the patterns easy to follow. THANKS, KELBOURNE!
I am on my fourth one. I have a lot of relatives I like to remember at the holidays with something I knit. This stylish hat will be a gift for many of them. I enjoy knitting it.
This was an excellent project for travel, easy but with enough texture to keep me interested.
Pattern looks somewhat challenging and still very doable. I'm looking forward to starting on it with some Kelbourne wool, which, to me, always has great stitch definition. The pattern being free is a great enticement to buying more wool.
A very nice pattern and the hat looks great and fits well!
