You can use any Fingering weight yarn as long as you get gauge for this size.

This hat is perfect for those leftovers.

For a taller version increase rounds. Shorter version decrease rounds.
For a smaller version (around head) use smaller needles. Larger version use larger needles.
This hue “hugs” your head comfortably.

Reindeer Hue.
The Shetland Keps provided the inspiration for this “HUE”, love playing with colors.
This is a win win combination, colors, using up my leftovers in the yak/silk/merino,
creating a super soft warm hat.
Figured there was room for a Scandinavian version, based on my Nordic heritage.
These hats are great for using up all those leftovers.
Plus they can tell a story or bring out favorite colors or favorite scenery.
Do not hesitate to play with your leftover colors to create your own version.
Hue is Danish for Hat/Kep/Tuck
