A very special thanks to Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer of HeartStrings FiberArts and her Honeycomb Shadow Lace Stole Pattern #H148 for the inspiration for this hat and for permission to use her stitch design to create this pattern. To see more of her beautiful designs, visit her website at www.heartstringsfiberarts.com.

Instructions are given for sport weight yarn as well with DK and Worsted weight (blue and yellow hat) instructions in brackets. 16 inch circular and double point needle sizes are given for each yarn as well.

You will need 1 skein each of 2 colors - I used “Kingyo” and “Red Ryder”. Five Oaks Farm yarn can be purchased at www.etsy.com/shop/fiveoaksfarm. NOTE: Five Oaks Farm does not have any yarn listed at this time (12/4/2014) so use any similar yarn that will give you gauge.
