The Beaver Creek hat is warm enough to wear on the ski slopes (though a helmet is preferred!) and classy enough to wear after a day on the slopes while strolling through the mountain town (to cover the helmet hair!). And the best part is that this hat is made with knits and purls. A nice easy knit.

This hat is knit on the purple Knifty Knitter adult hat loom (5/8” gauge with 48 pegs) and uses approximately 105 yards of a super bulky yarn. The discontinued Red Heart Zoomy yarn in the Malted colorway was used in the sample. Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick was used in the black sample.

This pattern is suitable for a confident beginner loom knitter.
