A Tale of Two Hats……Zig Zag Chevron Hats

Zig Zag Slouchie Hats

         Horizontal Chevron Hat              Vertical Chevron Hat 

 

I love chevrons!  Not only are they bright, pleasantly geometric and fun to work, but the first blanket I ever made was a chevron, so they are nostalgic for me too!  So following a particularly melancholy day, I decided to design a chevron hat, but I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do the traditional horizontal stripe or something a little fresher and more updated, such as a vertical stripe.  So….I did BOTH!!

Here they are.  I designed them as slouchies, but you could certainly shorten them and make them beanies.  you could add a baseball brim or maybe even a scalloped edge.  In fact, the entire design is based on customization.  The stitch pattern for each is designed to allow you to use as many colors when and where you choose for a truly unique hat! Both hats have a decorative feature at the crown, one pulls into a radiating star and the other radiating lightening bolts and the horizontal chevrons even convert into a cowl!  Add a pompom or two for a little bounce.  Have fun and make it your own!

But be warned, once you start making them they will fly off your hooks quickly.  I’ve made a few and they were all snatched up by my kids and their friends and now I’m getting requests for more!
