There have been so many outstanding hat patterns published in the last few months, I thought it was time to highlight my favorites. I’m crazy about all of these:
1. Fractals Hat by Olga Buraya-Kefelian — striking geometry and a great crown
2. Hickory Cap by Veronik Avery — great pillbox shape, clever construction
3. Boyfriend Hat from the Purl Bee — a total classic (free pattern)
4. Magnolia beanie by Maria Socha — simple lace-stitch chart, fantastic crown (free pattern)
5. Wissahickon beanie by Meghan Kelly — top-down and all about the crown
6. Garter Ear Flap Hat by Purl Bee — sized for the whole family (free pattern)
7. Walsh head scarf by Julie Hoover — I want it as is and also at kerchief or shawl size
8. Lara’s Hat by Susan Ashcroft — previously mentioned, now available (free pattern)
9. Muckle Toque by Mary Jane Mucklestone — the hat version of her great Muckle Mitts
10. Quadrifurcus beanie by Rililie — great woven texture and shaped back/ribbing
