Bash Sample

Description

Designed by Linda Dubec for Pom Pom Quarterly Issue 21, the Bash hat is a bold yet wearable colorwork accessory inspired by graphic arrow motifs, brought to life with a playful pop of contrast color echoed in the pom pom and selective duplicate stitch details. A classic ribbed brim ensures a snug, comfortable fit, making this hat easy to wear for everyday cold-weather outings while still feeling special and design-forward. Knit in The Fibre Co.’s Cumbria Fingering, the pattern takes full advantage of the yarn’s smooth hand and crisp stitch definition, which beautifully showcases the clean lines of the colorwork. The yarn’s blend of Merino wool and Masham adds warmth, durability, and just enough structure, resulting in a lightweight but cozy hat that’s perfect for layering and long-term wear.

You can make your own version by purchasing the Bash pattern from Ravelry and Cumbria Fingering.
