DESCRIPTION
The inspiration for the October hat came from the sweater of the same name (of course). I just couldn’t get enough of the colors!

The colorwork patterns are easy to knit, very quick to memorize, and create a gorgeous thickness that will protect you from the cold.
The combination of two decrease rates creates a beautiful rounded shape.

The Hats come in 3 gorgeous options (plain, striped and colorwork, each with their own set of instructions) but I hope you’ll do it your way,

Enjoy!
