Argyle Style Hat

Traditional meets modern in this eye-catching colorwork design that is sure to become a cold-weather staple for your wardrobe! Colorful mini-skeins play with the geometry of argyle for an updated take on this classic design. The predictable patterning makes the colorwork easy to memorize and quick to knit. The crown uses clever decreases for a gathered look that melds perfectly with the diamond patterning. Check out the matching mittens to coordinate your style and complete the set!
