I’m the Rock

This is a classic hat design worked in garter stitch with a snazzy twisted stitch detail for some pizzazz. It looks great with a pompom on top, if that’s your style. I designed it to be gender neutral and appealing to knitwear lovers of all ages!

The stretch accommodates many head sizes, making this a great gift project. The garter stitch is quite stretchy!!

Modify the overall height to create a looser or tighter fit.
