Single Pattern – September Knits – Rachael Reese – Plume Hat DK

Plume Hat (DK) by September Knits. My love for crochet and knitting continues to grow, and I am completely in love with mixing them. In this design, I mixed the beauty and elasticity of simple knit ribbing with a warm and addicting crochet stitch – the puff stitch. This hat is so fun to make and wear. It’s very warm and perfect for a colder weather hat.
