Speckle Hat by Rachel Brockman

Craft: Knitting

Looking for a fast and fun knit for a little one in your life? The Speckle Hat is for you! This two-color, textural hat features our self-shading Uptown Worsted Hues and our classic Uptown Worsted. These anti-pilling yarns are easy to care for, which means it makes a great yarn for kiddos. The fabric created by the stitch pattern in this pattern is incredibly stretchy – both vertically and horizontally – meaning it will last longer as your little one grows. Does it get any better than that?
