Southernmost Hat

Penguins hold a special significance for my friend Pam, and there's a beautiful story behind it. When she and her husband were dating, he surprised her with a heart-shaped pebble, symbolizing a sweet tradition in the penguin world: these charming birds give pebbles to their chosen mates as a gesture of love and commitment. This lovely gesture was the prelude to his proposal, making penguins even more meaningful to Pam.

This delightful knitted hat is thoughtfully designed to perfectly complement the southernmost mittens, creating a cohesive and stylish winter set. The unique construction features a ribbing that is folded under and hemmed, providing a cozy band of doubled fabric to keep your ears warm in chilly weather. Whether you're headed out for a winter stroll or simply enjoying the outdoors, this hat will keep you stylish and snug.

For this adorable set, you will need the following yardage: Pumpkin - 87M (95 yards), Birch - 73M (80 yards), and Charcoal - 40M (43 yards). With just 1 skein of each color, you'll have more than enough yarn to knit both the hat and the matching mittens. This pattern is not only a great way to express your creativity but also makes a wonderful gift for someone who loves penguins as much as Pam does!
