Using 5mm needles and two strands of 4-ply/fingering weight yarn held together, the Lynton hat is designed to be a super quick knit – perfect for a last minute gift! Just grab a background colour then some brighter tones for the stripes.

The mirrored decreases and large number of stitches left on the needle when you cinch in the centre give a nice bunchy, gathered feel to the crown, and a messy (loose) pompom tops it off beautifully.
