INSPIRATION
This year - I want to get away from it! Brighter days? Yes please! Grab that bright squishy DK(or worsted) skein and whip yourself up this easy and fun topper - now that all gift giving is done, it’s the perfect time to gift something for yourself! The slip stitch pattern is easy to work and showcases the beauty of speckled and tonal yarns perfectly.
This hat can be worn as a slouchy beanie or with brim folded for double warmth. Enjoy!
