Max Actually

Max Actually is a classic textured hat for all the family, with some terribly neat crown decreases. It’s sized from baby up to large adult, and can be made with either sport or DK weight yarn – depending on how thick you want the fabric, and how warm you want your head.

Sport weight yarn will create a slightly less dense fabric, perfect for kids who run around outside whatever the weather, while DK weight will produce a slightly thicker, more snuggly hat. There’s also the option of a folded brim, to provide the ultimate in ear warmth.

The knit and purl texture adds visual – and knitting – interest to, while being simple enough to work while doing a bit of knitting in front of the TV. Columns of slipped stitches frame the pattern, and lead into the crown decreases, creating a neat and satisfying hat.
