Fortitude Hat is a hug for your head and it makes a perfect last-minute gift. It is oversized, but cozy; it is instant gratification. Use it to channel some fortitude during a time when we could all use a little more grit. This hat is made with a superbulky yarn and has one size. It uses a simple yet striking diamond design that looks best in high-contrast colours. It is constructed from the bottom to the crown on circular needles, switching to dpns or Magic Loop method to close up the top. A faux fur pom pom adds the perfect touch of whimsy! Please note that this pattern has not been third-party tested, but I want to thank anemac for editing! Enjoy this free gift. xo
