The Waffly Versatile hat is designed to pair with the Waffly Versatile Cowl (website link). Inspired by the nostalgia of a tea time favourite, this cosy, textured hat knitted with Double Knit yarn is a toasty addition to your winter accessories.

The design uses just knit, purl, yo and k2tog stitches - there is a video tutorial provided for working the ‘yo, k2tog’ stitches.

The hat is knitted in the round, with 4 row repeats so it makes it ideal for social or TV knitting too.

The pattern is written for 2 adult sizes and has the fit of a loose beanie.

The pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knitted prior to publication.
