One of my favorite landmarks in my alma mater’s city of Ann Arbor is Nickels Arcade. Its unique architecture and charming stores inspired me in this Hat Design using North Bay Fiber Heritage, a beautiful Michigan sourced and milled targhee-polypay woolen spun yarn, perfect for colorwork, softness, and warmth.

I suggest using a light, medium and dark yarn for this pattern to really bring out the colorwork.

Also, when knitting the “body” of the hat, I go up a needle size. If you know that your gague does not change when you work more than one color, ignore my suggestion to change needle size for the body.

Finally, consider placing stitch markers between each section of the round. It will help immensely with keeping correct track of where you are.

Please posting your projects here on Ravelry and on Instagram, tagging #treehousefiberarts.com. I would love to see your colorways!

Thank you!!
