Located in the heart of the famous Mission District of San Francisco, Guerrero street is known for it’s vibrant, multi-cultural community. Brick walls turn into intricate murals depicting the indigenous people of California. The Guerrero Hat is inspired by the art found along Guerrero street and its alleyway canvases.

This hat is knit from the bottom up in the round in one piece, starting with a twisted rib brim. With larger needles, the fun and easy Guerrero colorwork pattern is knit to the top’s decreases. Add a pom pom to the top with leftover yarn for an extra cute, colorful hat.
