The Beacon Hill Hat features a super bulky (aka super warm) trim, knit in mistake rib stitch. The body is then created in perfectly drapey worsted weight yarn. Pattern contains notes for creating a slouchier fit, if desired. I love this piece because of its unique design, modern color-blocking, and the endless color combinations that the knitter can create. I can’t wait to see what you do with it!
