Garry Hat is one of nine designs in The Sun and Fog Winter 2022 Stone collection, a collaboration of knit and crochet designs by San Francisco Bay Area designers, dyers and yarn shops. Be sure to check out all nine designs!

Garry Hat was designed as a tribute to a long-lost family member and how we brought him home.

Garry Hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. Starting with a cabled ribbing, the hat features more cables and reverse stockinette for a plethora of texture and an enjoyable knit.

Extra yarn is included in the yarn requirement. Any adjustments will affect the yarn requirement. Differences in individual gauge, yarn weight, fiber and brand (even within the same yarn weight category) will affect the amount of yarn needed.
