This hat knits up to sit over the ears and is super cosy for cold frosty mornings. (isn’t that what we all need at the moment?!
With isolated lace in the front panel, it’s an ideal pattern for beginner lace knitters and perfect for the last ball of yarn (as it only takes 100g)

This hat is knitted in a thick chunky yarn, which can be duplicated through a few brands. Sirdar’s Sublime Chunky Merino was created for a few exclusive patterns and uses 6.5-7mm needles, to a tension of 14 sts x 19 rows per 10cm. The slightly thicker yarn and using a looser tension, by using 7mm needles, giving 13sts and 18rows to 10cm gives a gentle, soft fabric to the finished item.

I have repeated this hat without the Sublime chunky merino by knitting with Rowan Cocoon.
