Inspiration:

I am always inspired by yarn, the colours the texture speaks to me instantly. I love Malabrigo Rios, it’s a work horse for just about anything knitted. The vast array of colours make it impossible to choose… good luck, it won’t be easy.
In addition to playing with textures, I love knitting stranded. This opens endless possibilities. For this knit, I played with twisting stitches and crossing them over, but adding atypical reverse stockinette stitch as the background in a different colour. The effect is quite fun, unexpected and unique.
The hat is knitted bottom up, with quick steep crown decreases to give it a globe shape. I like this shape for pompom addition, it makes the pompom sit firmly on top of the head.

Meant to be worn with slight ease at brim, fitted and not slouchy.
