Softened Swells is the pattern for Week 11 of the Delaware Head Huggers 12 Weeks of Christmas! Though equally attractive in a solid color, a self striping or variegated yarn can add a little extra charm to this hat. This pattern will work well with fuzzy yarns or smooth and anything in between. This is a simple 4 row repeat that is easy to memorize and flies off your needles. The model was knit using 5-weight yarn, but of course the pattern includes instructions for all yarn weights.
