Hand-knitted Ear Flap Hat: Autumn Mountain Forest A

Watching the colors shift during the knitting process reminds me of leaves changing hues with the temperature. The weave of the ear-covering sections differs from the main body of the hat, offering a more relaxed fit. The back edge is intentionally designed to be longer, providing warmth for the neck. As the color and style of the yarns vary, the color composition of each hat is unique. For this reason, these are listed in separate product pages to make it easier to identify individual pieces. This hat is knitted using seven types of yarn: Yarn 1: Japanese-made PUPPY brand multicolored textured yarn (82% wool, 18% nylon) Yarn 2: Bright yellow flecked yarn (10% cashmere, 10% alpaca, 30% silk, 50% merino wool) Yarn 3: Japanese-made 100% wool yarn (pastel blue, brown, mustard) Yarn 4: Brown blended yarn Yarn 5: Charcoal gray yarn (5% alpaca, 65% extra-fine merino wool, 30% nylon) Yarn 6: Gray 100% baby alpaca yarn Yarn 7: Spanish-made dark gray mohair (72% mohair, 28% polyester) Dimensions L size: front length 19 cm, back length 21.5 cm, total length including ear flaps 27 cm, head circumference 52 cm. Fit Reference: A head circumference of 53.5 cm feels slightly loose; 55 cm feels comfortable to slightly loose. Levels of fit: Snug >> Perfect >> Comfortable >> Loose This is for reference only, as preferences vary. Some prefer a snug fit, while others prefer it looser—please choose based on your personal preference. Care instructions: Hand wash in cold water using a gentle pressing motion.
