The Story:
Designed similarly to “The Joyce”, the original DK version of this hat released in 2014, this worsted weight version features Ewe Ewe Yarns’ Wooly Worsted, owned by Heather Walpole…. hence “The Heather”. I even managed to finagle her into knitting the sample for me!

Notes:

  • This hat is knit in the round from the brim up, starting with the smaller needle size for the ribbing, and changing to the larger needle size for the body of the hat.

  • Both hats will require 2 skeins of Wooly Worsted; the fitted size requires about 145 yds and the larger will use 190 yds.
