When it’s cold outside, there’s nothing I love more than a warm, cozy woollen hat. The WINTER WOODS hat features a lovely and easy to work cable pattern and comes in two versions - one with bobbles and one without - so you can choose the one that’s just right for you!

It is made with one strand of silk mohair held together with a wonderful non-superwash woollen sock yarn. The result is a super squishy fabric with great stitch definition. WINTER WOODS comes in 5 sizes, so there’s one to fit everyone from a small child to adults.

This pattern was professionally tech edited and test knit before the release.

VERSIONS
There are two versions of this hat included in the pattern: version A features only the zig-zag cable pattern while version B also has a floral motive including bobbles.

CHOOSING A SIZE
The WINTER WOODS hat is intended to be worn with 5 - 7 cm / 2 - 2.75 “ of negative ease around the largest part of your head. When in doubt or if you are using superwash yarn I recommend to rather size down than up.
