Porthtowan Lace Hat

I’ve been wanting to share this pattern for so long! It is released in collaboration with Blacker Yarns and is now available on their website as a kit. You can buy just pattern it on my Ravelry, Lovecrafts and Payhip.

I played around with this stitch pattern for a while before finding something I was happy with, and paired with Blacker’s Bam-boozle 4ply it works beautifully. The yarn is light and airy and lends itself well to the geometric lace pattern, which is such a fun knit!

I’ve written this knitting pattern so there is are options to work a beanie or a slouch hat. You cast on at the cuff and then work upwards in the lace pattern after the rib, before decreasing over the final 3cm.

The result is a hat which is fine, yet warm, it tucks nicely into a pocket in case a chill should arrive in the air and will also fit under a cycle helmet!

Sizing is to fit a 53-65cm head and the pattern is both written and charted.
