THE BERNADETTE HAT
A little sweet. A little twisted. A LOT of fun. That’s Bernadette…and her hat. Featuring a unique scalloped edge that frames the face, an intricate lace pattern that’s actually easy to knit, and a slouchy top with a flirty pom pom, The Bernadette Hat looks stylish both coming and going. When it comes to hats, I like to think this one would tick off all of Bernadette’s boxes…because no one wants to tick off Bernadette!

Bernadette is 1 of 9 Hats from The Big Bang Collection, inspired by the iconic TV sit-com.

FIND YOUR PERFECT FIT
The stitch & round multiples on which The Bernadette Hat is based are now included in the pattern. For less experienced knitters who want to make a different size, the math is now provided. More experienced knitters can use this same information to make decisions about yarn substitution, gauge etc. I hope this helps empower you to understand your knitting better and to find your perfect fit!
