The Cherry Peaks hat is a great pattern for someone who is new to colorwork.
It’s a quick, easy and so fun to knit project with a simple two-color charted pattern.

The hat is knit in the round from the bottom up. Worked out of a gorgeous Snældan 2 ply yarn the hat is warm and snuggly.

The pattern provides extra small, small, medium, and large sizes so you can make them for the entire family. It’s a beautiful unisex project which suits both men and women.
You can wear your hat as is, or top it off with a pom-pom.

The hat is knitted in the round from the brim upwards on a short circular needle. Switch to double-pointed needles when needed.

This hat features a deep brim in 1x1 ribbing that is worn folded back.
Please note that the stranded pattern is charted only.
Please, read carefully the whole pattern before you start knitting. As the pattern gives detailed calculations for all sizes, I recommend highlighting all numbers related to your size in order to have an easy overview of the pattern.
