My daughter's Mixed Berries Hat.
This hat is a companion to the Mixed Berries Scarf I designed for my daughter. For continuity, I used the same yarn and began the hat with the same double moss stitch pattern I used for the scarf. However, while I wanted the hat and scarf to look like they belonged together, I didn’t want them to be identical, so for the hat I only used double moss stitch for 16 rounds and then switched to Stockinette stitch. Not only does it make for a more interesting hat in my opinion, it also shows off the beautifully-variegated yarn in a completely different way than the double moss stitch does.
The hat and scarf together with my daughter's new winter coat, which inspired the set.
This hat is a quick and easy project and really good for highlighting variegated yarn. It also makes for a nice set with the Mixed Berries Scarf, and like the scarf it can easily be made to fit an adult.
