The hat is knit in the round using sock weight yarn. The stranded fair isle technique is used for the color work. The yarn used in the photo is Knitted Wit (80% super wash merino, 20% nylon, 4oz, 420 yards) in Yellow and Ja’Jae. You will need 111 yards each of two colors of yarn to make the hat.

I offer this pattern for free but ask that you consider donating to one of the charities that are helping the Ukrainian people.

If you are thinking today about how to help Ukrainians, here are some possibilities:

Come Back Alive (Ukrainian NGO that supports soldiers on the battlefield and veterans)

United 24 (the Ukrainian state platform for donations, with many excellent projects)

RAZOM (an American NGO, tax-deductible for US citizens, which cooperates with Ukrainian NGOS to support civilians)

Documenting Ukraine (a project that helps to give Ukrainians a voice, also tax-deductible for Americans).
