A Very Special Pattern Re-Release: The Profiterole Hat

A couple months ago, the kind folks over at Jimmy Beans Wool reached out to see if I’d be interested in making some kits for the Profiterole Hat. I’d been meaning to spruce up the pattern and grade it for additional sizes, so this seemed like just the push I needed to get things done.

And now it’s ready for you! Below you’ll find links to buy the kit or the pattern on its own, along with lots of info about yarn requirements, needles, skill level, the inspiration behind the pattern, and plenty of photos.

About the Profiterole Hat

Few things cap off a satisfying meal quite like a profiterole. It’s creamy and airy and sometimes drizzled in chocolate, all of which is making me salivate just thinking about it.

This light, fluffy hat is similarly meant to be the perfect topper to your favorite outfit. It has just enough detail to be interesting without being a distraction from the other items you’re wearing, so it can blend well with your existing wardrobe while still being a fun addition.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit. It includes a second PDF accessible for knitters with low vision, following guidelines from Ravelry’s Accessible Patterns group.

The Profiterole Hat was originally released as part of the February 2020 Wintervention Knitalong.
