When the snow has fallen but the wind continues to blow, that’s when the snowscape really comes to life. The wind transforms the terrain into a frozen wonderland. The fine powder skitters along until it finally catches and holds tight, leaving ripples of snowy waves.

Snowscape Hat mimics these waves in undulating slipped stitches. Like the ever-changing drifts, the ripples gradually widen as you work. A folded brim adds warmth without interrupting the waves. The relaxed style is a reminder that you’re never too old to build a snowman. Worked in a soft worsted weight yarn, Snowscape Hat is sure to keep you warm as the wind continues to whirl.

Be sure to check out the companion Snowscape Cowl to complete your snow day look.

Gauge
19 sts and 32 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in stockinette on smaller needles (brim)
18 sts and 29 rnds = 4 in. (10 cm) in stockinette on larger needles (body)

The Snowscape stitch pattern is difficult to measure due to the changing frequency of the waves. Stockinette gauge for the inner brim is most important for a good fit. The body of the hat should be knit on needles that are about .5 mm larger than those used to knit the brim.
