INSPIRATION

Classic, chic Herringbone is always in, and worked in smooshy luxurious cashmere makes it your to go accessory this fall season - it will blend seamlessly with both casual and dressy clothes!

This hat uses a mosaic technique with only one color worked per round to achieve a colorwork look without the fuss of floats. The pattern includes two versions of the hat - the difference between them is the use of the two charts and flipped colors and voila! you have two different hats!

The pattern is both written and charted.
