This is an easy colourwork hat pattern knit in worsted weight yarn and is fast and fun to knit (as well as being cozy and warm to wear). Worn with or without a pom pom, the hat uses two contrast colours and has a stranded colourwork rose motif, enabling the wearer to still have roses even in the depths of Winter when the frosts have hit the gardens and all the flowers have gone.
