Everyone needs a go-to cozy hat for fall, and we think you’ll find none finer than Mansard. Knitted in lofty, tweedy Owl, Cassie’s design starts off with a folded ribbed brim and gives way to lush honeycomb brioche. This irresistibly squishy stitch pattern traps air, making for an especially warm and insulative hat. Topped off with a plush pom pom and written in a range of three sizes, we can’t wait to knit a Mansard (or two, or three) ourselves.

This pattern is also available as part of the 11 piece collection, Atelier.

Shown in size 18” / 45.5 cm with suggested 2–3” / 5–7.5 cm negative ease at brim circumference.
