This is a great unisex hat design using Rowan Felted Tweed Aran yarn, a lovely textured and robust yarn for the winter. It is a fairly neat fitting design with just the right amount of give in the crown. It has a clean urban feel to it so works equally well for men or women. I have included two size options which should fit most adult heads for men or women.

This is a simple design suitable for a beginner, who has mastered casting on, knit, purl and decreasing. It is worked flat on single pointed needles and then sewn up.

You will need 2 balls of Felted Tweed Aran, the smaller size hat uses just over one ball of yarn, the larger hat uses 1.5 balls of this yarn.

Look out for the pattern for the matching fingerless mitts!
