In downtown Portland, Oregon, there’s a colorful, cheery shop called Woonwinkel. My sister, Kristin, is the genius behind this amazing shop that carries “modern, colorful, inviting pieces from all over the world.”

And her shop was my inspiration to create a modern, colorful and inviting hat both to knit and to wear. A PINK hat…in honor of the fabulous PINK color on Woonwinkel’s walls!

This pattern is suited to an advanced beginner and calls for the following skills: casting on, knit, purl, basic cable stitches, decreases.

The allover cables are easy to work; a simple chart and written instructions are provided. Top the hat off using a trendy “faux fur pom”; I chose a grey color, but a white, black or pink one would also do nicely.

There’s arm warmers to match this hat! See my pattern, Woonwinkel Warmers.
