Stay warm and stylish with Michelle, the ultimate cozy winter hat. Knit in a super soft bulky yarn held with a strand of Suri Silk, it’s dense and luxurious (plus it works up super fast).

Michelle starts with a beautiful tubular cast on; its body showcases a simple cable design that can be knitted without a cable needle (see pg 4 for the link to a handy tutorial video).

Designed in four sizes to accommodate the whole family!

Combining a bulky Yarn with a strand of Suri gives you endless color options! I opted for a subtle contrast but you can chose a strong contrast for a marled look or use the same color for a semi solid look. There are no wrong choices and so quick to knit that I bet you’ll make more than 1!

Be sure to check out the beautiful Bulky & Suri has from my BFF, Melissa Kemmerer .
(my hat is named for her alter ego, that I accidentally created in a fit of laughter)

You can knit this hat without the Suri if you aren’t a fan of the fuzzies!
