Tiny Stripes Hat
Our Tiny Stripes Hat alternates between our classic Line Weight merino and our brand new Linen Quill yarn. A toothsome blend of fine highland wool, alpaca, and linen, Linen Quill’s earthy vigor plays the perfect foil to Line Weight’s downy softness. Two yarns that reside at opposite ends of town meet in the middle for a luminous conversation!
A simple pared-down design allows this hat to take center stage, but other little decisions also add to our Hats’ beauty. Its delicate rolled edge is soft and pretty, and crisp Centered Double Decreases make a nice detail at the crown. It’s also a great decrease to know, if you don’t already, and we clearly explain it in our new s2kp video tutorial!
These Tiny Stripes Hats are just right for when spring doesn’t go exactly as planned, lightweight but hearty, soft but rugged, a perfect case of opposites-do-attract! -Laura
