The Owen Hat is a cozy stranded colorwork hat knit in
North Bay Fiber BayBlend DK, a soft and warm 70/30 blend of alpaca and Targhee-Polypay wool. The colorwork features short floats and never more than two colors in a round, making it an approachable project for knitters trying stranded knitting for the first time. Five sizes are included, and the engaging colorwork makes this a satisfying knit as the motif develops round by round.
