Hope Hat by Rachel Brockman

Craft: Knitting

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are many ways to show and give your support, one of which is to make something meaningful to wear! The Hope Hat is a stunning knit cap featuring a stranded colorwork ribbon and speckle motif in a medley of pink shades beautifully matched to the inspiration. Worsted weight Cotton Supreme is a perfect choice for the Hope Hat, because it is easy to care for and buttery-soft. Even those with ultra-sensitive scalps can wear this yarn with ease.

Pattern notes
