This simple hat is made using 100% Rambouillet, non superwash wool in a fairly tight gauge which gives it structure and extra warmth. Slipped stitch detail running up the length of the hat add interest and are a good way to mix up colors if you’d like you use up some of your stash yarn. There are also guidelines included for substituting different yarn weights, held together, making it a great stash busting project.
