Inspired by Icelandic Lopi yarn and mounds of Tussock grass, I designed this hat to knit up quickly using bulky yarn and to produce a gender-neutral hat that has texture, warmth and versatility.

This hat pattern is suitable for beginner knitters and the pattern offers sizes for the whole family from infant to adult.

This pattern uses 70-120 yards, or 64-109 meters (around 60-100g) of bulky yarn. The textured knit-purl-based stitch shows off the subtle gradations of heathered and tonal yarns.

This pattern is a good match for bulky yarns with a bit of a halo in heathered earth-toned hues.

Recommended yarns include:

• Cascade 128 and Cascade 128 Superwash
• Rowan Cocoon
• Istex Alafosslopi
• Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Bulky
• West Yorkshire Spinners Re:treat Chunky Roving
• Berroco Vintage Chunky
