The Sagamore Flyover Hat is a simple, textured hat intended for a beginner hat knitter but flexible and fun enough to add into the rotation for experienced knitters too!
With an easy to memorize pattern, experienced knitters will be able to sail through this project with only glances at the pattern. For newbies, use my checkbox system to mark off each round so you never lose your place.
Because of the textured, ribbed effect and the 5 sizes available, it will easily work for babies through adult sizes. Guidance is given for beanie and slouchy lengths with details on how to customize for your perfect fit.

About The Name
The Sagamore Flyover eliminated the troublesome rotary that delayed beachgoers from getting onto the Sagamore Bridge and down to Cape Cod on summer weekends. I hope you’ll find this straightforward hat pattern helps you sail along just as smoothly.
