The Woodsman - Discover the enchanting world where craftsmanship meets creativity with Small Fish Yarn’s Woodshed colourway. Picture the awe-inspiring artistry of my husband, Curt, as he transforms humble wood into masterpieces. When I stumbled upon the Woodshed yarn, its bronze and silver tones seemed tailor-made for Curt’s workshop, and he couldn’t resist claiming them.

Known for his hat obsession, I crafted The Woodsman to mirror the Woodshed yarn’s bark-like hues. The cable motif pays homage to Curt’s woodworking passion, weaving his dedication into every stitch. Witness the fusion of woodworking and yarn in this uniquely beautiful creation.

Join our celebration of the Beauty of Woodworking and Yarn – a testament to how these two worlds harmonise. The Woodsman invites you to embark on your creative journey, whether it involves wood or yarn. The possibilities are limitless, ensuring extraordinary outcomes. Revel in the magic of creation!

Worked from the bottom up, this versatile hat pattern allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.
