The Attic Hat is inspired by a well-loved sweater that’s been rediscovered from the attic. This hat captures the charm of something worn for years and too treasured to part with. The deliberately distressed look and fuzzy textured stitches give it a nostalgic feel. A variety of knitting techniques keep the knitting fun and engaging, bringing together unexpected details to create that perfectly imperfect, well-worn look. There’s plenty to enjoy as you watch the texture take shape, and the personality emerge. This hat has a slightly oversized fit, is one size, and can fit adults and teens.

The yarn used in the sample is a favorite for the vibe this pattern gives, like an old sweater or vintage hat. Made from 75% baby alpaca and 25% nylon, you can find this yarn @ https://polkadotsheep.com/levitate-dk/
