The Devon Redlands Hat is a cosy chevron pattern beanie inspired by the distinctive red soil and rolling hills of the local mid-Devon area. Knit up in Aran weight yarn to keep your ears warm on a cold winters’ day. You can easily mix up your chevron stripe widths and colours, and even add a pompom if desired! The hat is knit in the round with a large folded brim and a slightly loose fit and slouchy length.
