Poppy

This pattern gives you instructions for making the Poppy hat using any of 3 different yarn weights and 7 different sizes from birth to small adult.

Each hat is made in the same way using straight needles and show row sections of knitting to form the shape. At the beginning of the pattern I have given the instructions for the different sections - please refer to these when working from your pattern.

The concern most knitters have are with the wrap and turn instructions, please refer to your favourite kitting book, Youtube video or friend for further assistance with these.

Some of the sizes do not seem to differ much in the number of rows or stitches, this is because of the “lateral stretch” which allows the hat to fit the next size up.

The hat can be worked on straight needles, however the band must be knitted on a circular needle as straights do not have enough “give”

Head circumference 37.5 (40, 42.5, 46.25, 48.75, 50, 53.75) cm
