Windward Island

Introducing the Windward Island Hat, a stunning knitting pattern that elegantly combines texture and visual interest by mixing smooth cables with playful eyelets and staggered decreases to create captivating undulating lines. This exquisite blend of lace and cables makes the hat particularly striking when crafted in a delicate tweed yarn—so don't hesitate to choose a vibrant color that stands out! With just the right amount of slouch, this hat features a unique shaping pattern that adds a beautiful detail at the crown, ensuring it’s not only fashionable but also functional for cooler days.
As an avid knitter, I found this design so addictive that I simply had to make two versions. For my projects, I chose the luxurious Green Mountain Spinnery yarn, Mewesic. The first hat, in a rich and deep Purple Rain, showcases the elegance of the design. The second, crafted in the lighter shade of Purple Haze, beautifully highlights the texture even more. If you're considering alternative yarns, be sure to check your gauge for the perfect fit. Dive into this delightful knitting experience and create your very own Windward Island Hat today!
