Need a quick knit, for yourself or as a gift? Try a Bulky Hat Kit!
The bobbles on Ivy Hill are big and bold and fun to knit.
The hat starts with a garter rib and jumps into a bobble diamond pattern – both written and charted – before decreasing in pattern for the crown. The bobbles are worked over 5 stitches, and keeping them loose and even is crucial for purling all 5 stitches together (like a modified nupp). This hat is so cheerful and fun, and the Germantown Bulky makes it knit up so fast!

About who makes it: Kelbourne Woolens was founded by Courtney Kelley and Kate Gagnon Osborn in 2008 to create the best hand knitting yarn for knitters, by knitters. Our line of quality, affordable, and classic yarns are meant to be the ones you reach for again and again. Our years of crafting, working in shops, speaking with our wholesale customers, and meeting thousands of knitters and crocheters at workshops, events, and book signings have inspired us to create a line of yarns with one idea in mind: Kelbourne Woolens is for those who love the craft as much as we do.
