As I have done with all recent pattern releases, 100% of net proceeds from May and June 2024 sales of this pattern will be donated to World Center Kitchen.

This very warm and cozy bulky weight hat starts with a ribbed brim merging into a colorwork pattern reminiscent of painterly brush strokes.

Two different crown shaping variations are included—both of which keep the color work all the way to the top. The Simple Crown decrease uses a spiral decreasing method (ssk) for 8 wedge sections. If you prefer a more symmetrical approach, use the alternate crown shaping with a CDD and 4 wedge sections.

Both charts and written instructions are included

Knit either a fold over brim for a very warm hat or just do a single layer of ribbing.

Charts are provided with a either a dark or light MC background.

It’s up to you. You’re the artist!
