XOXO Hat

Product Details

Experience Level: Advanced Beginner

Who doesn’t love polka dots and a good slouchy hat? The XOXO Hat combines both in one cozy, trendy topper! Using the same easy-to-knit texture that can be found in the Hugs Pullover and Embrace sweater, the polka dots on this hat are like little hugs worked all around the hat. Show yourself (or someone else!) a whole lot of love with this delightful hat!

Construction Details
