THE HARVEST SEASON HAT

As fields of crops are readied for the harvest, we soak up the glow of still-golden days. But in the crispness of the air, the ever-shorter evenings, we cannot help but know the summer’s end.



Lightweight and versatile, the Harvest Season hat features fanciful eyelet repeats that resemble stalks of grain. Ideal for transitional weather, it can be styled as a beanie or as a slouchy ‘demi-beret.’ Knit it up in a cozy rustic wool for a lovely combination of warmth and ventilation.


Note this is a new and improved version of the pattern, originally published in 2017.
