A fun and cosy hat with an added touch of whimsical flair.

Chevron patterning is used both as a smaller scale around the hat and a larger scale feature as a panel. Worked in just two colours, the stranded colour work floats add an extra layer of warmth.

The top of the hat is completed by making I-cords that spill from the crown. This is an optional detail which could also be worked as short cords, knotted together for a less whimsical look.

The patterning is part of my on-going fascination with chevron & herringbone patterning. A carpet seen while I was in Mount Tremblant was the springboard for this specific design.

The hat can be easily lengthened to give a more slouchy look. There will be enough yarn in the two skeins to be able to do this.

Smallest size uses approx 150 yds /137 m MC & 100 yds /92 m of Colour A.
Largest size uses approx 200 yds /183 m MC & 120 yds /110 m of Colour A.
