This hat is part of the Brother Hat collection. I skipped last year for my brothers annual Christmas Hat design, but I think I got my groove back. I used scraps of worsted weight yarns in all natural, undyed yarns for this hat, but it could also be made with as few as 2 contrasting colours, or more than 4 if you really want to get creative. This hat is very simple, warm and unisex. An ideal project for knitters new to colorwork, and experienced knitters looking for a relaxing and easy knit alike. The folded double brim will keep the ears extra warm and of course can be replaced easily with a single layer ribbed brim if the extra warmth is not required. Since I live in northern Canada… extra warmth is always something to be considered.
