Christmas carols….how I love them, especially those that you don’t hear that often like ‘Lo, How A Rose E’er Blooming.’ When I was gifted this yarn, I knew I wanted to knit a Christmas hat that wasn’t just for Christmas. The large, graphic rose, leaf and twig motifs create a joyful winter hat, holiday or not!

The hat is worked from the brim to the crown, beginning with a 1x1 Twisted Rib.Mohair is held with the main color of the yarn throughout, while contrast color is held alone.

Colorwork instructions are charted only. Two charts are provided; one to use with a dark main color and one to use with a light main color.
