Tranquil Treetops Knit Hat
Explore stranded colorwork with this hat, showcasing a repeating motif of tall fir trees, reminiscent of a serene mountain tree line. The fresh color palette in light and dark blue adds a modern twist, departing from the traditional green and white associated with tree-themed hats. If a classic look appeals to you, opt for green trees on a white background for a charming Christmas touch. Knit with yarn made from recycled wool, nylon and cashmere, complemented by sustainably sourced viscose, this hat ensures a velvety soft and squishable texture while promoting eco-friendly practices.

PATTERN NOTES
This hat begins with a tubular cast on and extra-long 1×1 ribbing for a folded brim, but feel free to substitute a regular long-tail cast on, a shorter brim, and/or 2×2 ribbing.
If a larger hat is desired, go up a needle size to increase the gauge slightly.
When working from the Chart, if the float will be more than 5 stitches, catch the non-working yarn every 4-5 stitches by twisting the two yarns together on the back, then continuing with the working yarn. Be sure to keep the floats appropriately loose or the hat will be tight.
