Spirit, a new hat knitting pattern, probably the most comfortable winter hat I have ever worn. It’s cabled around the ears for warmth and coziness, roomy in the crown. Use stranded colorwork to highlight interesting stitch patterns, or work entirely in monotone colorway…ever how the spirit moves you. Add a faux or real fur pom pom to the top! Love this hat pattern!

 

These hats pictured here are all knit with variegated and/or solid Malabrigo worsted Merino yarns.

Finished size is approximately 18-20 inches (46-51.5cm). Spirit will fit older children, teens, and adults. Sources for faux and genuine fur pom poms included with the six page photo tutorial pdf. Hope you will enjoy knitting Spirit. I certainly enjoyed designing this fur pom pom hat pattern.black monotone spirit cable hat

The color combinations are exponential.
