Hedgerow Hat

The Hedgerow hat is an easy to knit and wear accessory. The fabric is made with just knits and purls forming angled rectangles in neat columns - just like neat hedgerows in a garden.

Hedgerow takes less than one skein of light worsted/heavy dk weight yarn. The suggested yarn is a lighter worsted.

This is a written pattern with knit, purl, kfb, k2tog, and p2tog used.
I’ve also included a chart for the main body for those that prefer a visual reference.

The current slouchy sample used approximately 72g/129 yards of O-Wool O-Wash Worsted in the Mustard Seed colorway.
There is also an option for a closer fitting beanie.

NOTE: Some testers used up to 165 yards/151 m for their hats.

Don’t be alarmed now
It’s just a spring clean for the May queen”
