Andalusia is a color work hat with an faux fur/ Sherpa brim that is cozy as well as stylish! Big Bad Wool baby yeti is the fun furry stuff, and it’s knitted to a length to fold up creating a double layer of warmth for your ears. If the Sherpa brim isn’t your thing, this pattern has a version written with a traditional hemmed brim. Both versions have the same color work chart that’s bold and geometric.

I’ve also included a DK weight version of Andalusia that has a slightly different gauge (6 sts per inch). This version has a different increase round to accommodate the smaller weight yarn. The DK weight version can be found on the final two pages of the pattern PDF.

Here are the yarn and needle requirements for all three versions included in the pattern.
