To celebrate its release, Yuletide Forest Hat (and the matching cowl, or the ebook with both patterns) is 25% off through December 12, no coupon code needed.

In the colder months sitting inside knitting while looking at the barren trees and occasional snow is a great joy. Yuletide Forest brings those joys inside–trees and snowflakes flow off your needles as you prepare for your next outdoor adventure.

Yuletide Forest is knit in the round from the brim to the tip. This pattern does contain some longer floats.

Note: The largest chart makes different stitch counts for this hat awkward, so the best way to change the size of the hat is to knit at a different gauge. A smaller gauge of 30 stitches to 4”/10 cm will result in a hat circumference of approximately 18.5”/46.5 cm; a larger gauge of 26 stitches to 4”/10 cm will result in a hat circumference of approximately 21.5”/54 cm.

• US 3 3.25 mm circular needle, 16”/40 cm long, or one size smaller than gauge needle
