This warm and cozy hat came to me in a (day)dream, and I couldn’t help but make a pattern for it. It has a lot of nice texture and is very thick, making it a perfect winter hat. The patterns are overall pretty simple, but come together to make an impressive-looking knit.

Materials:

2 balls KnitPicks Andean Treasure (50g/110y, 100% baby alpaca)

Size 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles (small enough for brim of the hat) and DPNs (for decreasing). If you prefer, you can just use DPNs.

Cable needle

4 Stitch Markers, one a different color or shape from the others

Tapestry needle

Optional: patience
