We can’t get enough of the interplay of textures we get combining two of our favorite yarns – it’s a little bit of fluffy softness floating over a cashmere-forward worsted-weight blend. This stitch pattern, borrowed from our Fall Shawl, makes a whimsical hat – perfect for gifts and for your own fall-into-winter hat wardrobe.
