It’s the TEXTURE…the thick/thin, squishy, slubby texture of Plymouth Yarn Merino Textura…that led me to design this hat. Zoom in on the photos and see the unique yarn that’s used to make this knit beanie. There’s also a close-up photo of just the yarn.

Spot of Fall Color beanie is designed to fit snugly, with just a bit of slouch. It’s in a muted mustard color, or gold, if you prefer, to insert a POP of fall color to any outfit.

If you’re a beginner knitter, this pattern is a good choice. Instructions are carefully explained and I provide pattern support when needed. Instructions are given to knit a hat with smaller or larger finished measurements, if desired.

Skills needed: casting on, knitting, purling, decreasing (k2tog), and knitting in the round.
