Keep Warm Hat

Introducing the “Keep Warm” reversible hat, a stunning two-layer design featuring an intricate lace pattern that combines elegance with functionality. This beautifully crafted hat not only provides exceptional warmth during those chilly winter months, but it also showcases a delicate background color that peeks through the openwork, adding depth and texture to your winter wardrobe.

Materials Required: For the TOP LAYER (Color 1 - C1), you'll need 1 skein of John Arbon Textiles Harvest Hues, which is 65% Merino and 35% Wool, coming in at 100g/437 yards (400 meters). You'll use approximately 300 (330) yards (275 (300) meters) of this fingering weight yarn, knit with TWO STRANDS HELD TOGETHER for the desired effect. For the BOTTOM LAYER (Color 2 - C2), opt for Kettle Yarn Co. Baskerville, a luxurious blend of 60% Exmoor Blueface, 25% Gotland, and 15% Silk. A single skein of this yarn weighs 100g and has a yardage of 437 yards (400 meters). You'll require about 160 (180) yards (150 (165) meters)—this layer knits up beautifully with a SINGLE STRAND for a smooth finish. In the sample, we used John Arbon Textiles Harvest Hues in the rich colorway “Bracken” and Kettle Yarn Co. Baskerville in the soothing shade “Dawn.”

For stunning results, we recommend choosing soft and squishy yarn, as this will help minimize bulk and enhance the hat's overall comfort and drape. The finished hat length is approximately 10.5 (11.5)” (27 (29) cm), making it a perfect accessory for both adults and teens.

This “Keep Warm” hat is not just an accessory; it's a statement piece that will elevate your winter attire. Whether you're hitting the slopes, going for a brisk walk, or just enjoying a warm beverage by the fire, this hat is designed to keep you cozy while looking stylish.
