Skullivan Hat
For a complete set, find the matching Skullivan Cowl.
Named for and inspired by my nine-year-old son, Sullivan, who requested a hat that’s both “handsome and cool,” Skullivan pairs traditional fair isle technique with a modern skull motif.
This hat is worked in the round from the bottom up, beginning with a brim of 2x2 ribbing and accented with a two-color Latvian Braid. The body of the hat is knit in stranded colorwork.
