Enchantment Hat

To celebrate the release of the Enchantment Hat, as well as the fact that giftknitting season is in full effect, the Enchantment Hat and all of my accessory knitting patterns are available for 25% off for the month of December, including the matching Enchantment Scarf! No code necessary.

At the risk of being hyperbolic, knitting this hat does feel like working an enchantment of sorts. With its addictive but easy to memorize lacework pattern, it knits up like a kind of spell. Plus, the decreases create a stunning star/snowflake motif at the top of the head!

It felt appropriate to give the hat a name worthy of it’s magical vibes, and so the Enchantment Hat was born. Inspired by my love of all things fantasy and the enchantresses in my favorite books.

The Enchantment Hat is knitted from the brim up with a plush, folded, ribbed brim and all-over lace body.
