Worthy of Note
The Selbu Modern you know and love, but now in a slouchy beanie and pom pom!

Selbu Modern 2.0 begins with a K1, P1 Ribbing. After the brim is complete, the body of the hat is worked in a stranded colorwork pattern from a chart. The chart is worked six times around. Integrated decreases shape the crown and a pom pom completes the look.
