Hand-Knit Merino Wool retailer Hat

The yarn this hat is made from Merino wool.

Unstretched, this hat measures 16" around, retailer stretched, it goes to about 22". My mannequins head is a little over 20" around. The hat's height is 8". I used the pattern Bankhead from Susie Gourlay to knit this.

I LOVE knitting hats! Especially with luxury fibers! I've made so many hats for myself and my family and friends, and just can't stop knitting them!

This hat comes from a smoke-free, pet free home, and has been was washed in wool wash after I finished knitting it. Each hat takes me about 7-10 hours to knit, and I pour love into every minute of it.

My hats are made from delicate fibers, so I recommend washing them in a gentle wool wash, and laying flat to dry. Don't wring it. You can squeeze it gently. I highly recommend against washing or drying in a machine - that could do very bad things to your hat.
