This is a REVERSIBLE, 2-SIDED HAT that is SUPER WARM and THICK! One side of the hat has black cat and spider motifs and the other side has snowflake and alpine tree motifs. The yarn I used in the hat pictured, is Cascade 220 Superwash wool yarn in Royal Purple, Shire Green, Lime Sherbet, Pumpkin, Black, and Aran for this pattern. (Worsted weight, 100% soft wool yarn that you can wash and dry. I’ve tried to go into quite a bit of detail with this pattern (probably too much for most of you!) in hopes of making it as easy to understand and follow as possible. --And of course, please feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding the pattern. I hope you have fun and enjoy knitting this cozy, double thick, SUPER warm hat!
