Chicago isn’t only known as the windy city because of its politicians! This hat is perfect for keeping out that cold, Chicago wind. It’s double knit, giving it two layers of wooly warmth, and making it completely reversible. It has generously large earflaps, and the long icords can be tied to keep it from flying off your head with one good gust. A colorful geometric pattern makes this hat bright and fun. It will soon become an essential part of your winter wardrobe.

In the photos, the blue and gold hat was made with the Venezia and the purple hat was made with the Swish and Chroma.

This pattern was tech edited by the very talented Kristen Gallagher. It was translated into Russian by OxanaH and proofread by lenochkash. My models are the lovely Adrienne Fiening and Lauren Schmidt.
