Autumn in Garrison Hat

Pattern:
Autumn in Garrison
Kate Gagnon Osborn

Yarn:
Vintage
Sour Cherry

I have been eyeing up this hat pattern for a while now, and I'm really glad I made it. I used the Vintage yarn again so that I could have a hat that would match the Shelter Infinity Scarf. I thought it would be much trickier to make the hat top down, but I'm really glad that is how the pattern is written. Since I wanted a slouchy hat that would cover my ears, I knit an extra repeat, and it's perfect. Binding off the brim of that hat seemed like it would make a really inelastic edge, but it actually makes the hat more wearable and fit more securely on my head. It will be really helpful on very windy days. I love this hat, and I'll probably make it again with another yarn because the patter is so subtle that I think it'll look really different with another yarn.

It looks cuter when worn

Really pretty stitch pattern
