Desert Home Hat is constructed first by knitting the ribbing then following a chart for the color work and the crown. The hat fits like a standard beanie, neither tight or slouchy. I advise blocking it on a balloon that you blow up to measure 1 inch smaller than the head size you want.

Desert Home Hat is knitted in fingering weight yarn that is 100% wool. All yarns are from the Knit Pick Palette line in these colors:

Masala 86 yds
Marina 30 yds
Cornmeal 15 yds
Kumquat Heather 30 yds
Bison 25 yds
