Mellow Drop Hat

For this delightful knitting project, I have chosen MillaMia Naturally Soft Aran, a luxurious yarn made from 100% Merino Wool. This yarn is not only good value for money but also boasts an exceptional quality that makes it a favorite among knitters. It is enjoyable to work with and creates stunning pieces of knitwear that are designed to last for years to come. I highly recommend this yarn for both its softness and durability.

Don’t forget to gather 8 markers: one for marking the beginning of the round and seven others for your convenience throughout the pattern.
