Fast and Furious Hat

Description

Need a quick and cost effective simple hat as a gift or just for yourself? Half-Fisherman Rib makes up body of hat, with a Vikkel (rhymes with “pickle”) braid just above the brim for extra style. A quick trip to the store for 85 yards of any super chunky yarn and have a finished hat in a couple of hours! I challenged myself to make a thick, quick to knit hat with a yarn readily available to all, easy to knit and make it look like it belongs in a high end store. I came up with this. How to assess if it meets my criteria? Yarn: 1 skein, about 4 GBP. Time to Knit: 3.5 hours. Pom Pom: 1 GBP Does anyone want to wear it?: My daughter came home for a visit. Took the hat, I had to chase her around the kitchen to get it back. (That’s a yes) Easy to knit: Made my daughter knit one herself, and she is an occasional knitter. Medium Adult shown in photos.
