This hat with adorable bear-like ears is a fun, cozy project that feels special from the very first rows.
It’s practical, warm, and playful — the kind of knit that gets worn, gifted, and remembered.
Despite the cute details, the construction is clear and logical. You’ll shape the ears directly as you knit, then finish the hat with simple short rows and soft i-cord ties.
This project is perfect if you want to knit something that looks unique — without complicated math or strict gauge.
