Lake Erie Waves is a 2-color stranded colorwork hat worked in the round.

Lake Erie’s beaches can be very, very cold during the winter, with ice building up on the shore even while the center of the lake is still unfrozen. This hat keeps my ears warm while admiring the winter landscape.

This pattern is fully charted. Crown shaping and colorwork instructions are included only as charts.

The sample is a size medium (19 1/4” / 49 cm circumference) worked in Malabrigo Arroyo with main color Pearl (036) and contrast color Lotus (120).
