Worked in 2 ply Jumper Weight yarn from Jamieson and Smith- Shetland Wool from the Shetland Islands

Inspired by the Elk herd that lives in Bridger Canyon, Montana, the design combines traditional Fair Isle motifs and antlers in a creative and colorful combination.

Using a woolly yarn is helpful to accomplish the shape and weight that makes this hat fit perfectly.

One size fits most older children-adults.

Measurements: approx. 20” circumference x 6.75” height before blocking

This hat will fit snugly on a 23” head; adjust the needle size down for a smaller fit or up for a larger fit to accommodate the desired size.
