For this pattern I used a chunky weight yarn to make an extremely warm and textured winter hat with horizontal chevrons. This is a winter hat that was made was inspired by my son Colin and that is why it is called the Colin Winter Hat. This is a perfect addition for your winter wardrobe. This isn’t meant to be an extremely tight fitting beanie, it is meant to have a looser fit.
