Find Nua Sport yarn here.

This hat grew out of necessity. I’m tired of having cold ears! It’s designed to be long enough to pull down over your ears or pushed up further and allowed to slouch. It’s the perfect pattern for using up all those scraps of leftover yarn. Have fun playing with your colours!
