North Woods Hats

If you have leftover yarn from your recent projects, why not transform it into cozy and stylish hats? These delightful hat patterns feature a beautiful variation on a theme, showcasing mosaic designs that are reminiscent of the popular Hedgerow Cardigan. Utilizing yarn remnants from both that cardigan and the lovely Desert Vista Throw, these hats are not only a fantastic way to use up scrap yarn but also make excellent gifts for friends and family!

These hats are designed to be knitted in the round from the bottom up. Each hat begins with a soft, stretchy k2, p2 ribbing in one color, and then introduces a contrasting color to create an eye-catching mosaic pattern that continues all the way to the top. As you work, you'll decrease in a pattern that remains consistent with the rest of the hat design, creating a polished and professional finish.

Hat 1: For the first hat, you'll need Cocoa Bean #10197 (Main Color - MC), which requires 1 skein or 101 yards (92 meters), and Maple #10196 (Contrasting Color - CC), which needs 1 skein or 43 yards (39 meters) of yarn.

Hat 2: The second hat features Echo #10199 (Main Color - MC), requiring 1 skein or 115 yards (105 meters), paired with Pomelo #10200 (Contrasting Color - CC), which needs 1 skein or 71 yards (65 meters) of yarn.

With these two versatile hat patterns, you can explore your creativity and create unique knitted accessories that not only keep you warm but also showcase your knitting skills. Perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike, these hats are sure to become a beloved addition to your winter wardrobe. So gather your leftover yarn and let's get knitting!
