Year of DK Hats Prospero Kit (yarn sold separately)

What’s better than a free hat pattern? 12 more free hat patterns! Our popular Year of Hats is back, featuring Germantown DK. 

August's design is Prospero by our very own Kate Gagnon Osborn. This lovely, gansey-inspired hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. It begins with a provisional cast on, then a deep folded brim is worked in a K1, P1 Ribbing. After the brim is complete, the body and crown of the hat are worked in a texture pattern from charts. As always, a custom leather tag completes the look!
