I love my Fall Harvest hat, but some days, I need something a little warmer and a little quicker to knit! And so Bountiful Harvest was born--all the Brown family stitch patterns you love in Fall Harvest and Three Fine Daughters of Farmer Brown but in a hat you can knit in an evening. The five combinations of knits, purls, and slip stitches mean you’re sure to find an option for all your yarns, from the tamest solids to the wildest variegateds.
