Allotment Hat

**Community Fundraising Hat Pattern – A Colourwork Delight** Join the movement to save our village allotments with this beautifully crafted colourwork hat pattern! In September 2023, our cherished allotments, established in 1851, were unexpectedly put up for sale. Recognizing their importance, we launched a massive fundraising campaign to purchase the land for the community's future. To support this worthy cause, I created this unique knitted hat, which will be auctioned off, with all proceeds contributing to the allotment fund. This charming hat features a stunning colourwork design, perfect for showcasing your knitting skills and creativity. The pattern is knitted using scraps of **KDD Milarrochy Tweed** in 17 vibrant shades, although you can easily adapt it to use fewer colours or different yarns. Alternatives such as **Jamiesons Spindrift**, **J&S Jumper Weight**, or **Knit Picks Palette** work beautifully as well, giving you flexibility in your material choices. For your convenience, this pattern includes both written and charted instructions to guide you through every step of the knitting process. It has been thoroughly test knitted to ensure clarity and ease of use for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a novice, you’ll find this pattern accessible and enjoyable. Notably, you don’t need to utilize all 17 shades—there’s plenty of advice included on how to choose colours if you opt for different yarns. The versatility of this pattern makes it suitable for personal projects or gifting, all while supporting a fantastic cause! Knit your way toward making a difference in our community with this heartwarming hat pattern. Grab your needles, select your favourite colours, and let’s work together to secure the future of our beloved allotments!
