The Daybreak Hat reminds me of the glowing colours of a new day: yellow sun dawning through a pink and red-streaked sky, over the dew-drenched grass. Featuring classic colourwork motifs in a simple beanie style, it’s the ideal introduction to stranded colourwork - and a quick-knit project with a great flow for more experienced knitters.

You’ll be changing colours frequently, so weaving and joining your ends as you go is worth the effort to minimize finishing later.

These are worked up in our hand-dyed house brand Bon Tricot in Jolly DK, a custom spun base of BFL with a hint of Gotland, which blooms beautifully when blocked.
