The Braids of Joy Hat is the perfect companion to the Braids of Joy shawl, inspired by the same beautiful braided cables. Created for the Kora Club November 2024 that you can check and purchase here.

With only 5 skeins of Baby Yak Medium by mYAK you can knit both knitting accessories.

Just like the shawl, this hat is designed to bring warmth, comfort, and a touch of elegance to your wardrobe. With its soft Yak yarn and intricate braids, it feels like wearing a hug on a chilly day.

The cables form a pattern that is both striking and timeless, giving the hat a unique charm. It’s easy and enjoyable to knit, making it a wonderful project to work on during cozy evenings.

The Braids of Joy Hat celebrates the simple, happy moments of life—just like its matching shawl. Knit it to complete the set, or wear it on its own as a cheerful reminder of all the little joys that brighten our days.
