The (Not) August Hat

August Hat by Sarah Solomon
Kelbourne Woolens Germantown, colors Myrtle & Jade

August has come & gone, but we are still loving the August Hat by Sarah Solomon.

Knit in Kelbourne Woolens Germantown, this delightful knit has a little something for everyone...Stranded colorwork! Latvian braids! American wool!

The worsted weight yarn was developed in Philadelphia in the early 1800’s & the tradition has continued. With a cool, retro put-up, Germantown is a highly versatile yarn that is perfect for durable garments & accessories.

Worked in the round from the bottom up, the pattern begins with the brim & a two-Color Latvian Braid. Knitting continues with a botanical–inspired colorwork section that finishes with a diminishing leaf pattern around the crown.

Materials:

  • 1 skein each Kelbourne Woolens Germantown in two contrasting or complementary colors
  • Size US 5 & 7, 16” circular + US 7 double point needles

Happy Knitting!
