Hand-knitted Ear Flap Hat: Autumn Forest

As I wove, watching the colors shift, it consistently reminded me of autumn leaves displaying their myriad hues with the changing temperatures. The ear flap section features a different elastic weave than the main body of the hat, offering a more relaxed feel. The back edge of the brim is intentionally lengthened to provide warmth for the neck. To best showcase the hat's color variations, the photographs display two hats. Due to the unique colorways and patterns of each yarn, the color combinations on every hat will differ from the images. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. The hat is woven from seven types of yarn: Yarn 1: PUPPY brand multi-color novelty yarn, made in Japan - 82% Wool, 18% Nylon Yarn 2: Bright yellow speckled yarn - 10% Cashmere, 10% Alpaca, 30% Silk, 50% Merino Wool Yarn 3: kauni brand 100% Wool yarn Yarn 4: Grayish-purple 100% Wool yarn Yarn 5: Charcoal gray yarn - 5% Alpaca, 65% Superfine Merino Wool, 30% Nylon Yarn 6: Gray 100% Baby Alpaca yarn Yarn 7: Dark gray Mohair from Spain - 72% Mohair, 28% Polyester Sizing M size: Front length 19 cm, back length 21.5 cm, total length including ear flaps 27 cm, circumference 49.5 cm.

You may wrap the hat in a towel and place it in a mesh laundry bag for spinning, then lay flat to dry. ● For the novelty yarn with looped strands, please avoid pulling to maintain its original texture and shape. ●
