The Best 5 Flowers-themed hat patterns for knitters.

20 Sep 20221 Nov 2022 / vetkaknit / Leave a comment

If you like floral theme projects, here’s a little treat… I’ve created some flower hat patterns for you.

Dandelion hat

A slightly sweet smelling flower that opens up every morning and closes at night. The smell of the sun shining down, something we never will forget.

Now it is time to put on your dandelion hat and have some fun!

Sunflower or Rudbeckia hat

Rudbeckias and sunflowers are in the sunflower (Asteraceae) family. The flowers are composed of showy ray flowers.
