Bundle the Wilder Woods Hat with the Wilder Mitts for $2 off! No coupon needed, just add both patterns to your Ravelry cart.

As the winter weather grows wilder, knitters cozy up with their wool garments. Enter Wilder Woods, a cozy hat designed to brighten up the dark, cold days of winter.

A customizable ribbed brim blends seamlessly into a graphic colorwork pattern that uses 3 colors of fingering weight yarn. Less than a single skein of each color is needed, making this a wonderful stash busting project. Choose a color palette with strong contrast for a bright pop or use a subtler palette for a vintage vibe.

Wilder Wood’s colorwork chart is deceptively simple to work. While the chart uses 3 colors, only 2 colors are worked together at a time.

If you enjoy this pattern, be sure to check out the Wilder Mitts, a sister pattern to the Wilder Woods hat!
