Hayloft Hat Knitting Pattern

The texture and broken lines of the slip stitch pattern of this beanie makes for a cozy, visual interesting hat but also a fun knit! The folded brim is easy to work and adds a clean edge to the beanie. This hat can be worked in one color or two, with a high or low contrast depending on personal preference. The thick, squishy fabric of the slip stitch makes this the perfect accessory for staying warm on a cold autumn evening!

You can also purchase a kit that includes the pattern and two skeins of naturally dyed yarn here.
