In the greyest months of winter, it’s nice to pick a bright yarn that reminds me of sunshine and Spring flowers. I used Love Handyed merino-alpaca, but any bright, soft DK would work.
It has a deep, fold-over rib which keeps one’s ears toasty warm. The main body of the hat is a K, P textured pattern converted from a geometric patterned Fairisle cowl I recently designed.
