The Design

“We’ve got you(r ears) covered!”

Whether the weather is blustery, damp, or snowy (or all three!) this hat is guaranteed to keep your ears well-guarded. With a clever construction, the two comfy flaps rest on either side of your head while the edge dips lower in the back to keep the wind and snow off your neck. We’ve played with braided ties with tasseled tips and knitted I-cord ties!

We knit a version of the Northward Cap in the wonderful plushness of Wool and the Gang’s Alpachino Merino and another in the insulating fluff of Rowan Brushed Fleece.

This 2-page pattern includes:

• Instructions for finishing and blocking your piece
• Guidance on creating braided and I-cord ties
• Full color photography by Laura Gehring
