An updated and improved version of this pattern will be released soon! You will naturally receive the update in your library. It will be worth waiting for!

This pattern was created with the intention to help slow down the knitter’s inner pace through the rhythm of the stitch patterns used.
In stressful and uncertain times knitting can be an aid to centre and ground yourself.

The corrugated rib for the brim and mosaic pattern for the body of the hat are great opportunities to try out and practice different colour work techniques.

You can use any leftover DK yarn (ca. 240 m/100g) in two colours.
I encourage you to use stash yarn.
If you prefer to knit the brim as a single colour 2x2 rib I suggest to cast on 10-20 stitches less than the pattern calls for. Otherwise the fit will be too loose.

The pattern has been test knit but not tech edited. I still made the decision to charge a small fee to acknowledge the amount of work behind a pattern. It will be tech edited and re-released in the Autumn as part of a set with fingerless gloves. Purchased patterns will be updated.
