This pattern was designed for comfort and versatility. It works great with alpaca yarn which is drapey and very soft. For a version that can does not require hand wash try our new Superwash Merino. The ribbed design offers structure to your hat and is knit at a tighter gauge to keep your head extra warm on those chilly nights.
