The Dolly Mixtures Hat is a cheerful pattern designed by Corinne, The Woolly Thistle Owner. Named for the classic British sweets, Dolly Mixtures, this colorful pattern was knit by Corinne in one of her favorite yarns for colorwork, Jamieson & Smith 2ply Jumper Weight.

From Corinne: Growing up in Scotland, we have sweeties called Dolly Mixtures and they’re all different colors like this tam. They were all thrown together, bright and sweet. I remember as a very wee thing my dad pushing me in my pushchair and I shared my Dolly Mixtures with him. They added some color and sweetness to life just like I hope this tam will do for you!
