Lyrical Knits The Way You Wear Your Hat PDF

The Way You Wear Your Hat, a beautiful yet simple hat pattern from Mary Annarella of Lyrical Knits, was created from a desire to work up a lovely variegated skein of yarn. It can be challenging to work with multi-colored yarns that look great in the skein, but pool and stripe when knit up. The stacks of twisted faux-cables ease the pooling and give this hat an easy, almost woven look to the fabric while breaking up pooling considerably. Pair a variegated yarn with a complimentary solid yarn for the ribbing, or work the hat up in a single semi-solid yarn for a textural topper.
