The Hawthorn is an easy fall knit and a great addition to any wardrobe. Contrasting colors and a slouch fit make it one of my favorite patterns of the season.

Utilizing slip stitches, and worked in the round, the pattern incorporates colorwork while using only one color at a time.
I chose to work with neutral colors using the darker color to accent the lighter, but any color combination you prefer would work!

Finished Measurements: approx. 18” circumference & 10” tall
While this hat is only available in one size, the amount of stretch allows it to fit most adult heads.
