Red Nick's Fancy Hat

Knit yourself a fancy hat to wear in December, using stranded colorwork to make snowflakes and hearts. Go bold with high-contrast colors or more subtle by using similar colors. Add a pom-pom to finish it off, and optional fur trim if you want it to really match a hat you may see on the movie screen!

This pattern was designed to be knit for JK Simmons to wear as Santa (or Nick) in the movie Red One (2024). The versions used in the movie were made with lower contrast yarns and had fur added to the brim.

Note that this is the hat in the movie with the fur trim; the ribbed out without the fur (featured on the posters and merch) is the Rustic Red One pattern (ravelry link) by Jessica Spiegel.

If you make a Fancy Hat it would be awesome if you share it with the hashtag #rednicksfancyhat and/or add the project to ravelry so we can all admire it!
