Looking for a quick holiday knit? Or are you a beginner wanting to venture into hat territory? If so, The Shard Hat is the pattern for you.

Worked in a knit-purl pattern from the ribbing up, this unisex hat is simple to knit, yet has enough going on to keep things interesting. You can also knit this hat up in anything from sport to aran weight yarn - the size is adjusted by changing the gauge. The small size is suitable for children, while the medium and large sizes are perfect for adults.

Pattern is presented in both written and charted formats. It requires approximately 125 yds/114 m yarn and needles in the appropriate size for the gauge. Many thanks to my brother, Kew Gardens and some early snow for the photo shoot, and my test knitters, knucna, tinpins, lemonsong and mrsmommy, for their help and suggestions.

To purchase, click below - the pattern is available through my Ravelry store, but a Ravelry membership is not required.
