This houndstooth hat pattern from Lily B’s has been created with cooler weather in mind. You can wear this hat with the brim rolled up like a classic winter hat, or with the brim unrolled as a more trendy slouchy hat. It’s soft, squishy and has incredible stretch.

I designed this pattern using Patons Canadiana because it’s one of those yarns that just ‘feels good’ in my hands and for your convenience, as it can be found at most big name craft supplies stores.

However, if you prefer working with a different yarn, any comparable yarn would work, as well.
