Cinnamon Loop Hat

Fabulous Yarn friend, and Army of Knitters designer, Heather Dixon, has released two new patterns featuring Galler Yarns Prime Alpaca, (held double), and Belangor Angora.

First up is the Cinnamon Loop Hat

I love the shape of this hat, which is lightweight, and won’t cause ‘hat hair’!

Worked in the round from the top down, using simple increases, the wonderful texture is created by mixing two beautiful yarns in a knit and purl stripe pattern.

The rolled brim of the hat finishes it off neatly to create a lovely, rounded shape.
