The Hygge Hat is a DK weight beanie, featuring a stranded colorwork motif utilizing three complimentary colorways.

This design was inspired by the way a pattern on a well-loved vintage rug is faded in some areas while crisp and bold in others.

Use of a speckled colorway as one of your contrast colors, helps to create the worn / faded look. If you prefer higher contrast, be sure to select three distinct colorways.
