Choose 5 from 7 different sport motifs to create your own custom winter sports themed hat. Instructions are for one size (approx.. 22” circumference, average adult), but can be adjusted by altering your gauge. The pattern includes detailed written instructions with charts to follow for

• downhill skier
• cross-country skier
• snowboarder
• figure skater
• snowshoeing
• hockey player
• sledding

All seven winter sport charts have the same number of stitches so that you can pick and choose which sports to include without worrying about stitch count.

Wool is recommended as it allows for better stretching or shrinking if needed, to get the best fit.

Gauge is important! You might find that a DK weight and smaller needles make it easier for you to get the needed gauge.
