As soon as I whipped up the new crochet Theo Bucket Hat, I immediately took the time to work out a knit version so that I could release them at the same time. I had so many requests for a knit version of the Annie Bucket Hat, that I knew it would be a similar case this time around. Please welcome the Teddy Bucket Hat, a cozy color blocked babe worked up in Lion Brand Go For Fleece Sherpa. Scroll down for the free pattern, click here for the printable PDF, and click here to shop the full kit including yarn.

Like Go For Faux, Go For Fleece Sherpa is a super soft fluffy yarn that creates an irresistible fabric. Fleece is super trendy this season and I think this hat will immediately become your fave accessory! It pairs so cute with everything and is a real showstopper that's sure to turn heads. It will also keep you snug and warm all winter long.

The pattern calls for one skein of each color, and you can easily make 2 hats with that amount. I love the idea of flip flopping the colors and making a hat for you and your bestie in alternate shades. The pattern is written for four sizes so you can make them for all of your friends and fam (heads up: everyone will ask for one, trust me!). I'm wearing the size 3 in the photos, which is essentially equivalent to an adult small, but the information provided on the ease and finished dimensions will help you decide which size to make for yourself and others.

This is an easy level pattern and the techniques involved are the knit stitch, k2tog decrease, and working in the round on circular and double pointed needles.
