There is a scene in a Family Guy episode where Stewie says "I want them to have hats!" Clearly, I enjoy channeling my inner Stewie because I want them all to have hats!
With the deep, dark days of winter still ahead, throw some color and texture into the mix with this soft, warm, chunky hat.
Knit in the round with simple knit and purl stitches, this hat knits up quick and is an easy pattern to memorize and knock out while watching the U.S. House Judiciary Committee Hearings or maybe something a little lighter. Whatever side you are on, infuse some joy into the process by being creative and creating something warm for yourself or a loved one. Consider this hat a warm hug for your brain. Knits up in 1-2 hours.
