Jolly Hat

Jolly Hat
Jolly Hat designed by Vivian Lee in 2023. If you are not located in Taiwan, please purchase this pattern directly via ONDOhandcrafts Studio Ravelry Store.

This hat pattern appeared when my friend brought her family back to Taiwan for the first time after the Pandemic. At that time, it’s very close to Taiwan’s Lunar New Year and the weather was quite chilly, so I decided to knit simple hats for her kids as gifts.

This is a simple 2x2 ribbed hat constructed to be knit from bottom to top, ending with a cute little cape. It looks so cute and joyful to whoever is wearing it. This is the reason why I named it ‘Jolly Hat’.

Special thanks to April who pushed me to make this pattern happen and wish all of you will like this simple, easy to wear and funny hat.
