Sometimes the details of every day life take up so much time and energy that it can be difficult to see the bigger picture. When that happens it’s good to step back, take a deep breath, and do something a little out of the ordinary to help restore your perspective. Call a friend, read a new book, hike up a different trail, or maybe knit this hat.

Made from worsted or aran weight yarn, this hat knits up quickly and is perfect for gifting—to yourself or to a loved one. The colorwork is good for beginners, but also makes great TV knitting for the more experienced. Sized from toddler to adult.

Materials

Use any aran or worsted weight yarn that gives you gauge. You need less than 25g of your contrast color, so it’s a great way to use up leftovers from other projects!
