Favorite Things: Baking Bread

This is part of a collection of six Favorite Things hat patterns—wearing this one will let the world know that you love to watch movies!

The gauge is flexible: use any yarn in the sport-to-DK range and refer to a sizing table to determine which of the four sizes to make to achieve your desired circumference. You can also start with choosing a size and finding the gauge to match—each chart differs with what’s between the words, so the smallest size is more minimal and the largest has more decoration.

There are five brim options and five crown designs to choose from (photos are shown of each option)—plus, you can play with color, using just two colors, or picking extra main or contrasting colors­.

This particular sample used a sport weight MC and a light fingering weight yarn held double for the CC.

Brim and crown patterns are written, colorwork body is charted (one large chart for each of the four sizes); notes are included for choosing your size, gauge swatching, stranded colorwork. Hat is knit in the round from bottom to top.
