Romance is the spice of life they say and love is universal. While all of these tried-and-true sayings sometimes lose meaning with repetition, they are all still true of us all. Even though overused we all need love in our lives and often celebrate it with family and friends.

Why not create a symbol of your love with the Tree of Life and Hugs and Kisses patterns knit right into your gift.

Knit your loved ones a “plain” hat in the Aran classic style. Alternatively, go all out and knit your loved ones a hat adding every bobble possible and the three-dimensional hearts. Go ahead – show someone how much you love them.

The “Make 1” bobbles do not affect your stitch gauge and are easy to add or eliminate from the hat, they can be knit in the same colour has your hat or in a contrasting colour as shown.

Pattern offers two choices of ribbing, one plain and one with the tree of life worked right from the cast-on.
