Description

It’s easy to envision the famous trail itself in the gorgeous texture of the Pacific Crest Trail Hat. With its deep foldover brim and wavy cables and narrow columns of knit stitches emerging on a reverse stockinette stitch background, this beanie is destined to be a treasured accessory.

The Pacific Crest Trail Hat can be made in three different sizes, with instructions included to easily adjust the height to suit the wearer’s preference. It’s created in Road to China Light, a luxurious sport-weight blend of baby alpaca, camel hair, cashmere, and silk, the perfect yarn for a beautiful fabric with a soft halo. You’ll truly enjoy this simple but engaging knit. Add a pompom for a little extra flair!
