Parkers Ridge Hat
During a recent holiday adventure, my husband and I decided to hike up Parkers Ridge along the stunning Icefield Parkway in Banff National Park, Canada. It was a breathtaking, clear spring day, but I had unfortunately forgotten how cold the wind off the glaciers can be. This created the perfect scenario for an earache, and I found myself without a hat. Thus, the Parkers Ridge Hat was born—a compact, lightweight solution for those unexpected chilly moments! Whether you're climbing a mountain, hiking through a beautiful valley, enjoying time around the campfire, strolling by a serene lake, or even sleeping in your cozy tent, the Parkers Ridge Hat is designed to fit your adventurous lifestyle.
This hat is not only practical but also a delightful knitting project. Knit on the bias, the Parkers Ridge Hat serves as a perfect pattern for utilizing a partial skein of self-striping sock yarn or that special fingering weight yarn you may have tucked away in your stash. As my test knitters discovered during their crafting journey, using self-striping yarn can yield surprising and fun results—my very first hat featured an adorable flower design on the top!
