Style, warmth and class combine in the Heartwood hat. It’s a surprisingly quick color work project with a subtle masculine edge.
The knitted-in hem and scroll color work pattern make it extra warm, while using a woolen spun yarn like Brooklyn Tweed Shelter keeps it lightweight. Heartwood is knit from the bottom up, with full fashion decreases to create a square-shaped top. It’s also a great way to use up remainders of yarn.
