Hay Bay Hat

Everyone needs a classic toque, especially one that's knit in fresh, bright, snowy fair isle. This is a super simple stranded pattern, perfect for the first-time color work knitter. A deep, double fold ribbed brim provides extra warmth around the ears for those frosty days, while a roomy cap prevents hat head. A big fluffy pompom tops the whole thing off. It's quick, easy and fun to knit and fun to give as a gift as well! Hat is designed with 2" negative ease.

Originally released as part of the Free Pattern Friday series, the Hay Bay Hat has been reformatted and can now be stored in your Ravelry library. Be sure to take a peek at the matching Hay Bay Mittens, too!
