This hat pattern is extremely customizeable. Unlike my first hat pattern (Mossy Musings hat), this pattern is:
- Fairisle/colorwork
- for any age, any size
- can be double knit
- you can add your own lining
- you can add an inner warm headband for extra warmth
- you can even use the charts and math to create socks or a sweater (with permission after contacting me via email)
This is for either adventurous knitters or ambitious knitters who are willing to take their time with this project. The hat itself is knit with 2.50mm/ US Size 1.5 circular knitting needles using our very own Handspun Legacy and Cafe Shetland yarns. If you purchase yarns from my shop, you'll get this pattern for free! If you want to purchase just the pattern, you'll get 25% discount until January 8, 2022 11:59pm PST.
