Hand-knitted Ear-Flap Hat - Autumn Forest B

Watching the colors shift as I knitted reminded me of leaves displaying various shades as the temperature changes. The ear-covering sections are knitted with a different elasticity than the main body of the hat, creating a more relaxed, unrestrictive feel. The back edge is intentionally made longer to provide extra warmth for the neck. Because the color and design of the yarns vary, the color combinations of each hat are unique. As some materials differ, these are listed in separate product pages for your convenience. This hat is knitted from seven different types of yarn: - Yarn 1: PUPPY brand multi-colored fancy yarn from Japan (82% wool, 18% nylon) - Yarn 2: Bright yellow flecked yarn (10% cashmere, 10% alpaca, 30% silk, 50% merino wool) - Yarn 3: 100% wool yarn from Japan (powder blue, brown, mustard yellow) - 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: Dark gray mohair from Spain (72% mohair, 28% polyester) Dimensions: Size L: 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, while 55 cm feels comfortable to slightly loose. Levels of fit: snug >> just right >> comfortable >> loose This reference is for guidance only; individual preferences vary, with some preferring a tighter fit and others a looser one. Please choose based on your personal comfort. Care instructions: Hand wash in cold water using a gentle pressing motion; do not rub to prevent deformation. Wrap in a towel and place in a properly sized laundry bag to spin-dry, then lay flat to air dry in the shade.
