With Winter coming, I long for days when I’m at the beach, and that reminds me of my trip to Grand Cayman where sea turtles ran wild. I loved them, they have re-populations farms there, and watching the sea turtles is amazing. I love a warm cozy hat that reminds me of summer vacations in the middle of winter.

This hat is available in both a worsted weight and a fingering weight version. The Worsted weight version is sloucher and warmer than the fingering weight version.

**ERRATA - USE THE SMALLER NEEDLE FOR THE RIBBING, THEN SWITCH TO THE BIGGER NEEDLE*****

Worsted weight version calls for US #7(4.5mm) & US #8 (5mm) needles, DPNs or circulars. Fingering weight version calls for US #4 and US #5 needles.

For this hat you will need 3 colors - a main color (blue), Color A (white) and Color B (Green)

I’m certain you can substitute yarn weight in the worsted version and make the hat smaller, but I haven’t tried it yet. If you do, I’d love to hear about your results!

Feel free to sell or give away anything you make from this pattern, just don’t be an asshole and sell the pattern itself or rewrite it and present it as your own.
