Flicker Hat

fullsizerender-76

The past couple of months, my roommate and I have been doing a collaborative project called Stitch Party. I knit infinity scarves and colorwork hats, and she embroiders wall hangings and little notebooks. We’ve had a great response so far, and have been selling them at a local Tea Shop as well as Artist Markets. We are very excited to be able to show off our crafts! (You can follow us on instagram at @stitch_party )

The hat shown above is one of the hats I’ve been making for Stitch Party, and I received so many questions about the pattern. So I decided to write it and publish it on Ravelry! I have been using Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick, but prefer the yarn I used in the above picture, Sublime Lola (a super bulky weight merino wool yarn). It is unbelievably soft and the color palette is top notch. And of course, the pom pom makes it.

This hat is the perfect project for a beginner knitter who wants to enter into the world of simple colorwork! It is also a quick knit and makes a great gift!

Materials needed:

  • Super bulky weight yarn (60 yards of Main Color & 30 yards of Contrast Color)
  • 16” circular needles, #11 & #13
  • 1 set of DPNs, #13
  • Tapestry needle
