The Yule Hat is a cosy, slouchy style beanie and the pattern is an easy introduction to stranded colourwork knitting in the round. It knits up very quickly, which makes it the perfect last minute gift for a knit worthy friend.
Using less than 100m each of the Main Colour and the contrast colour, the Yule Hat is also an excellent way to use up leftover yarns from special past projects.
