This gorgeous hat features a colour work pattern of falling leaves cascading down to match the jersey Falling Leaves. Perfect for using up small nuggets of yarn.

Knit in 8ply / DK weight yarn, this pattern has both charted and written instructions and is clear and simple to follow.

Looking for a matching jersey? Check out the Falling Leaves Ebook which has both the hat and jersey patterns together.
