I’m obsessed with patterns that are simple but still have a super-striking impact and are inviting to knitters of varying skill levels. That’s exactly why I designed the Over Fences Hat. Starting with an easy 1x1 ribbed brim, this pattern moves into stranded colorwork to create the body of the hat. The lattice design is worked with a stitch repeat that becomes intuitive and starts to flow rhythmically as you knit. Made with DK yarn, the Over Fences Hat has that perfect combination of lightness and warmth for the ultimate in versatility throughout the seasons. What colors will you choose to create yours?
