Melrose Hat
This hat is made to complement my Melrose cowl, and you have two design options.
A beanie for a more fitted hat and a slouchy one to fit looser.
In both options, you have a sufficient amount of leftover yarn, so the choice to add a pom pom or not is all up to you.
I added a faux-fur pom pom, you can find it here.
The beanie is an ultra cozy version that features Sunday Morning DK and Haze, a silk and suri alpaca blend.
Shop the yarn here.
*Note that the suri is held double throughout the pattern.
The slouchy version uses Sunday Morning DK for C1 and C2.
This design is all about fun. Enjoy :)
