this version is knit in breathable ecobutterfly organic color grown cotton, which has a lusciously soft hand and beautiful drape. it could easily be knit in wool yarn with a bit more body and spring to create a fabric that provides more warmth when the days turn chilly in fall. david chose the rustic avocado shade, a pale green which looks really great next to his skin.

david has really enjoyed collecting a hat wardrobe over the last few years—starting with a first few thick woolen ones to keep his head warm in winter and now a couple in cooler summer fabrics to keep the sun off. they do double duty during the unseasonably chilly evenings we’ve had this summer. designing a new hat for him gave me another chance to knit along in the knitspot summer cotton KAL.
