You’ll find so much to love about Paulina’s cozy Ersdotter hat. Knit in Lark, its unique corded rib pattern creates an all-over braid-like texture that is oh-so-soft and squishy to the touch. Prefer to knit with long single-point needles? You’re in luck, this hat’s worked flat and seamed, so you can give those circulars a quick rest.

Ersdotter is available as part of Core Wool 2021, or as a single pattern download.

Shown in size 19½“ / 49.5 cm with suggested 0–2” 0–5 cm negative ease. The model is also wearing Koehler by Paulina Popiolek.
