A forest of pine trees stands against a gray sky with snowflakes gently drifting down. The Snowy hat was designed to use up the leftovers of the Ponderosa sweater. It only needs a small amount of each color, which makes it the perfect project for leftovers. A folded brim makes the Snowy hat perfect for chilly days. Add a fluffy pom pom to the top for a cozy winter look. The hat is worked from the brim to the top in the round. The hat is sized to include sizes from 2 years to adult large.

The Snowy Hat is part of the Woodland Ramble collection. The entire collection is available as both an ebook and printed book. You can find the printed book on my website here.
