Symbolism
Westport Isle symbolizes an oasis with an infinity of possibilities. The hat was inspired by the love of color work sought after by Westport Yarns’ Maker Community and their curiosity for learning new techniques as they kibitz around the table.

Highlights
Westport Isle, a unisex hat, is knit in the round as either a fitted or more loose fitting slouchy.

  • The hat comes in three sizes and will fit most teens and adults.
  • Small yardage requirement for contrasting colors is a good way to use up project leftovers.
  • The crown features a star comprised of a ‘W’ and ‘Y’ in recognition of the Westport Yarn knitting community who inspired the design.
