Summer is too hot to think of making a heavy wool hat, so why not try this light-weight beanie worked in breathable cotton. My linen stitch patterns have proven so popular and accessible that I thought I’d try a linen stitch hat. I’m sure you’ll love the finished product as much as I do.

This beanie is worked from the top down in joined rounds. The instructions are easy to follow and written clearly, so even an advanced beginner can make the June Hat. The color changes are simple and add a bright touch to this summery hat. The pattern works well for men and women, so make one for you to wear in the garden and one for hubby to wear out in the boat or on the jet skis!
