Held Together Hat - Digital Pattern

$6.50

My High Desert Socks have become a go to knit for me and many others because it is quick, classic, stash friendly and sized for all. I knew I needed to do a hat with the same qualities. As its name suggests, this hat (like my high desert socks) use two strands held together to create a squishy marl that makes color mixing and matching effortless. I can’t wait to see the combos you come up with for your hat and I hope the finished piece keeps your loved one warm and cozy.

Thank you so much for your support of the Held Together Hat. I cant wait to see your finished hat! Please use the tag #heldtogetherhat to share with me on instagram! Seeing your yarn choices and watching your progress is the greatest joy. Happy knitting!

This pattern uses fingering weight held double in three colors. Perfect for any type of wool or acrylic blend since the fabric is intended to stretch. Have fun choosing colors to marl, going high contrast for a graphic look, or low contrast for a subtle blended look.

To stretch yardage, the MC can be two colors held double.
