Stowe VT

The first time I visited Stowe, Vermont I was immediately struck by the informal, breezy charm of the gardens surrounding the Von Trapp Family Lodge, and the many other hotels, inns, restaurants, and shops in this remarkable place. These beautiful gardens are what I remember most when I think of Stowe, and served as the inspiration for my hat.

This hat is knit in the round. I like to use a circular needle, but double pointed needles are also great if you prefer them. I include two charts, one with light color dominant, and one with dark color dominant. I find it easier to work from charts that match the color values that I’m using rather than trying to swap the colors in my head while I’m knitting. I think you will, too.
