Knit One, Gift One: The Sophisticated Basketcase Hat Pattern You’ll Adore

Posted by Danielle | Oct 7, 2025 | Knit Hacks | 0 |

Perfect for teen & adult heads and cosy-warm too! It’s a fun knit and doesn’t need any crown decreases to produce a hat which fits nicely and can be adapted in subtle ways by adding length to the brim for a nice cosy double fold, and/or adding width to the whole piece for a loose casual slouch.

Get the pattern via Etsy from Handmade By Smine.
