I designed this quick and fun winter hat using my latest Hey Lady Hey “Field Fingering” 100% non-superwash Merino yarn. The natural wool, and 2 ply structure create a crisp and warm fabric perfect for all of your winter accessory and colorwork projects.

Slightly slouchy, with a cozy folded ribbed brim, and fun pom pom. The delicate floral motif is elevated to a bold modern graphic by pairing the dark “Pitch” with a skein of natural undyed “Naked”.

This hat is one size, designed to fit a range of kids and adults comfortably. If you’d like to adjust the size, simply use a smaller or larger needle.

Use this delicate design to play with color in your fair isle knitting. For a natural look, choose a dark neutral paired with an undyed skein. Try a saturated jewel tone combined with a pale speckle. A gradient floral motif over a solid background would be interesting. Play, and have fun.

Happy Knitting,

Melissa
