Description

Balnaan Hat is a classic striped hat designed by Emily Williams. It is super easy to wear and an instant staple for any handmade wardrobe. What’s more, it is a great way to use up leftover bits of yarn from knitting the Balnaan Pullover.

The hat is knit from the ribbed brim, worked using two strands of Luma held together, through the striped section worked with one strand of Luma together with one strand of Cirro, with the shade of Luma changing every eight rows, to the pompom, which perfectly uses up any extra yarn scraps left over.
