Kobuk

Pattern is charted only!

Kobuk can be knit either by combining 2 yarns together, one strand of DK and one of laceweight mohair (pictured) or with a single strand of worsted weight. 

Nothing says winter to a northerner quite like fresh snowfall & a hot drink in hand. The light, fluffy flakes can make the whole world feel like a snow globe, & the picturesque landscape of Alaska’s mountains & rivers certainly don’t detract from that vision. This hat is inspired by the spicy scents at Alaska’s own Kobuk Coffee Co., where cinnamon, clove, & orange from their signature tea mingle with the stronger richness of freshly ground coffee. Similar, perhaps, to how the speckles in Madelinetosh’s Modern Fair Isle mingle with fluffy laceweight mohair to journey along the knits & purls to create their own rich and textured landscape. Grab a hot tea & pop this cozy hat on your head to keep warm, and go walking in your own winter wonderland!
