The hat to match the Mosaika Cowl!

A band of stranded colorwork provides extra warmth around the ears for the coldest days of the year and is elevated by the addition of surface embroidery added after the knitting is completed.

To knit this pattern, you need to know how to:

• knit and purl in the round,
• work using two colors,
• work stranded colorwork from a chart, and
• work basic decreases (k2tog).

The colorwork motif is charted only. Two versions of the chart are provided so you can choose the version that best matches the relative value of your colors. The surface embroidery is optional.

Yarn requirements:
Main color: approximately 120 (154, 170) yds./110 (141, 155) m
