The NOVALJA hat matches the theme of the NOVALJA sweater. https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/novalja
The stylish gradient color blocking and the colorwork motif which evokes snow crystals shimmering in the first light of the day is fun to knit and the resulting hat is comfortable and easy to wear.

This adult sized slightly slouchy hat is knitted seamlessly in rounds from brim to crown. The pattern comes in two versions: for sport weight and worsted weight yarn. As you need only a few yards of each color this pattern is great for using scraps.

The easy colorwork pattern is great for fairisle newbies who want to improve their skills.
