Our Basic Hats For Everyone in Plenty pattern is a celebration of what makes gift knitting fun… Simple stitches, customizable options, lots of color choices, and everyone gets just what they want! Choose from 3 different brims (ribbed, rolled, or garter stitch), a colorblock brim or solid, ear flaps or no, a pom pom topper or plain. Oh, and sizes for everyone, from babies to adults! You even have a yarn-weight option, too: Choose this pattern to make your hats in worsted-weight Plenty, the softest 100% extra fine merino in the world, or pick up our Basic Hats For Everyone in Nigh DK pattern to make your hats in our light worsted/DK-weight 100% cashmere Nigh DK. If you're sticking with this pattern and Plenty, know that it is the softest grade of merino wool there is and is as un-scratchy as wool gets. Its distinctive high twist also keeps pills at bay and knits up into a soft, smooth surface. Make gift knitting simple… Put together a lovely bunch of Plenty colors, mix and match them (go wild!), and knit a colorful custom hat for everyone you love (or even just like a lot)!
