Ocean Waves Hat in Denim

This Ocean Waves Hat was knit by hand here at 1840 Farm. This pattern was designed to create a hat that can be worn in the style of a beret or tam on top of the head or as a slouchy beanie pulled down to protect your ears from the cold. The cables brim was designed to look like ocean waves which gave this hat pattern its name  

This hat was made using a pretty Berry colored polyester blend yarn that is 25% recycled fibers. This blend is soft to the touch with a nice stretch whole holding its shape. It can be washed on the gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dried on the low heat setting. It can also be washed by hand and dried flat or line dried.

If you don't see the color combination or fiber type you are hoping for, send us a message. Emma and I would love to knit one just for you!

I am a night owl. When sleep is elusive, I tend to pick up my knitting needles. I knit while Penny Lane snores nearby. The cadence of the knitting needles, the movement of the yarn between my fingers, and the steady sounds of Penny sleeping are such a comforting combination for me.

I decided to create my own cable hat pattern this year and have been knitting the resulting pattern a lot lately. I love the way the back and forth of the cables looks. I also love the feel of wearing this hat. The cables give it a stretchy body and a cozy, comforting feeling on the head.

The Ocean Waves Hat fits the average teen and adult sized head. The cable pattern on the brim and rounded shape allows the hat to stretch easily to size without being tight against the head. Because each hat is handmade, the actual size varies slightly.

Each hat has been knit by hand right here at the farmhouse. They have a wooden button attached to them that reads, “Handmade with love” because each one of them is. Should you prefer your hat not to have this decorative button, you can easily snip the yarn that was used to attach it and pull it away from your hat. 

Each hat will include a tag that details the fiber content, pattern and color name. It also includes washing and drying instructions so that you can care for your hat in the way that best protects the fiber and keeps it cozy and beautiful for years to come.

We’ll be using a variety of yarns to create these hats. All of the fibers will be soft and we’re hoping that by offering a variety of fibers, you can choose the one that is right for you with regard to wearing and washing.

We'll also be making these Ocean Waves hats to order for you. We have a rainbow of soft, pretty yarn colors here at the farmhouse in a range of fibers. We would love to make something in the fiber and color you are dreaming of.  Send us a message and we'll work with you to create something truly unique and perfect for you!
