The Year of Hats is back, this time featuring our latest yarn in the Germantown line, Germantown DK! The Year of DK Hats will feature 12 free patterns using our favorite knitting techniques.

July’s design is Pandora by Angela Tong. We love the simple and sleek design for summertime knits by the pool, sea, or wherever this season takes you!

Worthy of Note
This hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. Beginning with a classic long tail cast on, ribbing is worked before transitioning into the simple slipped stitch pattern. Integrated decreases shape the crown.
