Arctic Berry is inspired by a hat that kept popping up in my Instagram feed but was several seasons old and no longer available. I loved the look of it and decided to knit my own version! Arctic Berry knits up quickly in Super Bulky yarn! Named after the “Raspberry Stitch” used in the pattern, this hat is available in two sizes. It’s the perfect chunky hat to wear all winter long! Pair it with flannels, sweaters, or maxi dresses to enhance any outfit.
