BAO BAO hat

The BAO BAO hat is a beautiful companion to the BAO BAO shawl.

The hat is worked in rounds from the crown down to the doubled brim and features the beautiful and fun stitch pattern I used for the HEIMATHAFEN

pullover. Using the dip stitch stripe pattern “all over” creates this super cute retro look. The crown of the hat looks exactly like a granny

square and could be a starting point for many “spin-offs”.

The cute and easy dip stitch pattern could be worked with many colors for a playful result (and to help stash busting ;) or with 3 colors (as

shown) for a more sophisticated and sportive look. An optional pompom can be worked last.
