Aberdeen Hat

Hidden in the hills of the North Okanagan, the Aberdeen Columns are a wall of spectacular geometric basalt rising above the Aberdeen Plateau. Formed from ancient volcanic activity, these lichen covered columns are a true wonder of nature.
Worked in squishy, two-colour brioche rib, this reversible hat is a delight to knit and wear! With multiple sizes and style options—beanie, slouchy, folded brim!—Aberdeen is the perfect pattern for learning two-colour brioche and is sure to become a family favorite.
