Riverbank Hat is a versatile yet stylish hat for grown-ups and kids alike. It features a simple colorwork pattern (adapted from charts in Vogue Knitting Stitchionary Vol 3, ed. by Carla Scott) that is reminiscent of a river flowing and framed with little sitting areas for enjoying a pretty day on the riverbank. It is finished off with a pom pom in the contrasting color to add a pop of pizzazz.
I hope you enjoy this simple hat. Happy Knitting!
