York is a stranded color-work hat that blends twisted ribbing with vibrant, punchy colors. This eye-catching accessory is done in four colors, with one shade delivering that perfect “Pop”. This hat kit showcases four stunning hues of Paka Washi. Feel free to rearrange the color placement for endless creative possibilities, allowing you to knit two distinct hats from the same yarn stash. It’s a fantastic way to see how a simple tweak to your color palette can shift your perspective and make the most of your yarn!

There are two PDF downloads for “York”, one is the original worsted weight version and the second is a NEW Sport/ DK weight version featuring Ikigai Fiber’s Paka Washi Sport/ DK.
