The Snowbird hat, knit in the round with a light, lofty yarn and luxurious all-over cables, is a fluffy hat that will keep away the chill. The cable pattern resembles a flock of birds flying to warmer climates for the winter. You can pick one of three sizes: small (medium, large). Small is intended to fit a toddler or small child. Medium should fit large children and small adults. Large is intended to fit most adults.

Yarn
Getbentz Farm DK Weight
Wool/Alpaca/Mohair blend
55g (150 yds) (75 g (200 yds), 95 g (250 yds))

Badgerface Fiber WAM is a thick and thin yarn between DK and worsted weight in a blend of Minnesota Cheviot wool, milled with alpaca and mohair to give it luster. The mohair blooms, creating a soft halo in the finished product, and the strength of the wool reduces chances of pilling. The yarn is milled on the Get Bentz Farm cottage-size woolen mill, and all yarn is sourced locally. If you’re substituting yarn, pick a DK (or light worsted) weight yarn with a slight halo.
