Barnstormer Hat In Flight

A warm, squishy aviator-style hat with knit-as-you-go earflaps formed by short-rows. This is the "In Flight" version with garter ribbed brim and outstretched wings. The stitch pattern is written and charted.

There are three versions in the e-book (Barnstormer, Barnstormer-In Flight, & Barnstormer-At Rest) with each in three sizes (S, M, L).

You can also embellish it further by adding tassels, pom poms, or braids.

This hat was inspired by my Great-Uncle Ole Fahlin who was a barnstormer in the 1920's. He engineered prototype airplanes and manufactured wooden propellers (as well as wooden skis and snowshoes).

Yardage approx. 195 (215, 225) This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit.
