Annie Wilkes

Have you read the book, “Misery”? It’s the one where the famous romance writer slips off the road in a snowstorm and this amazingly nice woman finds him and takes him back to her home to recover. But as the snow continues to fall (hiding all trace of his errant car) and the winter creeps along, the nice Annie who picked him up slowly morphs into an obsessed super-fan intent on keeping her favorite author hostage.

I hope you will enjoy knitting this simple color work hat that uses one skein of Caron X Pantone to create layers of snow color in a gradient pattern. If you get captured by an insane woman in the mountains of Colorado and she’s willing to drive to town to buy you yarn instead of paper you could make a few.

Save your color remnants for a pom pom to finish off your hat. Most sizes will only require 1 hank total but it is best to have 2 on hand in case you run out early due to inconsistent quantities in your hank.
