A hat that honors the state flag of Minnesota. This pattern fits an average head size of 20-22” circ, and uses two shades of blue. This pattern wouldn’t be complete without a white pompom to represent L’Étoile du Nord, our shining North star. Best colors for this hat are Cascade Superwash 220 Merino in #49 Hawaiian Blue and #33 Navy, though those are becoming hard to find. I also love #129 French Blue and #114 Bluejay.

This pattern is free for a limited time, and patrons are asked to donate to a food shelf. Helping those who cannot help themselves is the Minnesota way.
