Swirly Hat is a reversible hat that can be knitted in a variety of different yarns! In the sample, I have used a DK weight hand dyed qiviut merino held single to make the swirly part, and the reverse side along with the brim is knitted in Cardiff Cashmere Brushlight held 2 strands together. This makes for a luxuriously soft and fluffy combination.

Optionally, you can also add a Pom Pom of your choice on top! In the sample, I used a ~3.5 inch diameter Pom Pom.

I have included a picture of the qiviut yarn in its hank form to show what the yarn looks like when purchased, to give an idea of how it changes to form the swirly pattern when knit up. The sample is knitted in size M.
