The Boardwalk hat (free pattern here) and the Giftie Slouchie Beanie (free pattern here) look so similar! I finished knitting the Boardwalk hat today (with KnitPicks Comfy Worsted in Rosehip):
And look at it compared to the Giftie Slouchie Beanie I made my Dad for Christmas:
The second uses chunkier yarn and bigger needles, but the pattern is almost exactly the same. It’s nice to have such similar patterns available so that I can just adapt to whatever yarn I happen to have in my stash! Both hats are incredibly stretchy and easily fit a man-sized head.
The KnitPicks Comfy Worsted deserves some praise here — it is SO SOFT. It’s 75% Pima cotton, 25% acrylic, and I want to order lots lots lots more of this as a cheap to medium priced yarn that is good for just about anything! The Rosehip shade is enchanting because in different lights it appears as different hues — in dim indoor lighting it looks pretty orange but in natural light it’s a lovely pink!
It’s been a lot of knitting lately, but that’s just the mood I’ve been in I suppose. Well, I guess that’s all for now! I hope you’re all staying safe and cozy and happy!

Ooh, the KnitPicks Comfy looks so lush and squishy!

It is! I kind of want to make a blanket out of it now so that I can just wrap up in a bunch of it.

They are very similar. I love the pink one. It looks so soft and feminine while the chunky on looks great for the guys. I printed the pattern 🙂 Thanks for sharing.

I agree! I’m glad you like them. They may be some of my go-to hat patterns now!
