The Embers Hat from Valley Yarns uses a simple knit and purl stitch pattern that takes on the look of a complicated colorwork pattern when work in narrow stripes of cuddly soft Amherst. This generously sized, easy-to-knit hat is perfect for anyone looking for a hint of glowing color in their cool weather wardrobe.
