Alfalfa is part of the Autumn vibes hat Collection which includes Alfalfa, Foliis and Ore!

Alfalfa is a hemmed-edge hat, knitted in the round from the bottom up, using a purl row to create a clean fold. The first part of the hat is worked on a short circular needle ( 3mm/40cm), then increase sts and follow the chart to knit in stranded colorwork ( 3.25mm/40cm). The crown is worked on DPNs or on a longer circular needle using the Magic Loop technique to work a small circumference.
