To create this pattern, two strands of Cascade Eco Duo are worked together to produce a quick and toasty warm weekend project…topped with the pom pom to add a bit of whimsy and some extra insulation.

The soft and luscious natural baby alpaca and merino yarn knits up into a superwarm and incredibly soft winter hat that feels heavenly against the skin.

The pattern is written for a women’s small-medium. Size can be made larger or smaller by adjusting the number of stitches cast on by multiples of 6 stitches.

Your eyes will delight as the subtle, graduated shading emerges from your needles … and your hands will be grateful for the luxurious softness.
