Inspired by the popular Empyrean series, the motifs on this hat complement the cowl of the same name. Featuring double dragons flying over runes and ruins, this stranded colorwork design is perfect for lovers of fantasy.

There are minimal written instructions for this - just the brim and crown decrease. All colorwork is charted only.
• Knowledge of fair isle knitting is required (ie. reading colorwork charts and catching floats)

The main pattern is DK weight: Two options for the back (dragons or fleur de lis)
MC ~75 yards CC ~ 120 yards
US 3/ 3.25mm needles
US 4/ 3.5mm needles
Stitch markers
Tapestry needles

Bonus worsted pattern - The chart is very tall for worsted weight, resulting in a very rapidly decreased crown. If you don’t mind a slouchier hat, this version would work well for you.
** This one has runes around the back.
MC ~ 45 yards CC ~ 85 yards
US 7/ 4.5mm needles
US 8/ 5mm needles
