NOTE: Lucky Tweed is a thick and thin woolen spun yarn, your needle size may vary greatly. Testers used a US 5, 6, 7, or 8 needle to achieve correct gauge.

Even though this might seem like a completely normal directional statement, this saying doesn’t have anything to do with direction. When a Minnesotan says “Up North,” what they’re really referring to is their cabin or to the woods, but those don’t need to be in that direction. So no matter where they are going, they’ll say they’re going “up north.” This hat is a complement to the Up North Cabin socks I designed for the #lotsofsockskal and will be great paired with matching mittens.
