On the look-out for a new hat pattern? Look no further!
Based on my latest finished objects – 3 in a row – I can thoroughly recommend Woolly Wormhead’s appropriately-named Skelter, which includes instructions for a range of sizes. The design includes a slit in the brim, but this is easily omitted if preferred.
With 35% alpaca and 65% wool, Drops Lima was an obvious choice and a perfect tension using 4 mm needles.
Don’t you just love a pom-pom?

Great hat pattern; I’ll definitely be making one of these – I nearly bought gorgeous fur pompoms this week, but was overwhelmed by colour choices! OK, must choose yarn for hat and then next time I’m in that shop, I’ll have an easier time… ;o

it looks like a lovely pattern (although I am not a great fan of the slit at the back); but I think the colours you picked are also very eye-catching!

Thank you for your kind comment – I appreciate it! Yes, I wasn’t sure about the slit – if I were making it for myself, I’d probably knit it in the round without a slit. But it’s good to have options 🙂
