DESCRIPTION

The Aurora Hat was inspired by the mesmerizing dance of the northern lights — glowing, shifting, and sweeping across the night sky. Designed to coordinate with the Aurora Cowl, this hat features a colorful design using five contrasting colors. The hat is knit in the round, beginning with a doublelayer brim that is folded under and attached for a cozy, polished finish. The colorwork follows an easy to-read chart and continues from the brim all the way to the crown, creating a radiant, shifting effect that echoes the aurora itself.
