Today, we’re going to Knit a Gilmore Girls Hat inspired by Lorelai’s Rib Stitch Knitted Cap! Before I kick off my “Netflix + Knit” binge marathon session, I want to share this cozy ribbed knit hat with you. As soon as the trailer came out and I saw the character Lorelai was wearing it, I was obsessed to figure out the pattern. I hope you are excited to knit up this Gilmore Girls inspired knit hat. I had so much fun making it and I think you are going to have a blast mastering this hat.
