Global Shift Hat Pattern

Description

The Global Shift Hat serves as the perfect introduction to the distinctive offset globe cables from a vintage Swedish cable pattern that defines the Global Shift Collection. The hat features the signature cable work that elegantly converges at the crown. This quick and satisfying knit combines the collection’s textured garter stitch base with five cable panels, creating a hat that’s both visually striking and wonderfully warm. Worked in the round from the bottom up, it features a folded ribbed brim and clever crown decreases that integrate seamlessly with the cable pattern.

Knitted in The Fibre Co.’s Herb & Hue, this plant-dyed extra-fine Merino creates a hat with exceptional softness and rich, complex color derived purely from plants. The yarn’s excellent stitch definition ensures the offset cables remain crisp and clear, while its natural warmth makes this hat perfect for chilly autumn and winter days. As a one-skein project, this hat offers an ideal way to experience the luxury of botanical color and the satisfaction of the Global Shift cable pattern. Let this be your gateway to the Global Shift Collection that honors both tradition and innovation.

A kit is also available for the Global Shift Hat in Herb & Hue.
