Middlebury Hat

**Embrace the Polar Vortex in Style with Our Cozy Aran Weight Hat Pattern!** Whether you're navigating sub-zero temperatures or enjoying a winter stroll, this beautiful, knitted hat is designed to keep you warm and comfortable. I took it for a test drive during the polar vortex, and believe me, it exceeded all my expectations for coziness!

This exquisite aran weight hat features a unique doubled brim that is expertly grafted together. The main body of the hat showcases a delightful motif of lofty bobbles and elegant cables, creating a stunning visual texture. You can even finish it off with a pom pom for an extra touch of flair! (If you opt for a handmade pom pom using the same yarn, be sure to have an additional skein on hand).

The design is crafted to fit a range of head sizes, accommodating a head circumference of 21" to 23" with plenty of stretch for comfort. This makes it the perfect accessory for anyone looking to add a touch of warmth and style to their winter wardrobe.

I chose Purl Soho Alpaca Pure in aran weight for this hat because alpaca yarn offers an unbeatable combination of softness, warmth, and beautiful drape. It's the perfect material to showcase the intricate details of the design while ensuring ultimate comfort against your skin. This hat is not only functional; it's a fashionable statement piece for the coldest days.

I am always eager to hear constructive feedback about my designs and genuinely welcome any suggestions or tips from fellow knitters.
