Lifeline Hat - English Version - PDF

The Lifeline Hat is an easy and graphic colorwork hat knit from brim to top on circular or double pointed needles. The border is doubled so it's warmer on the ears. You can make it either in fingering weight yarn ou DK. 
The idea behind this pattern is to use leftovers or single skeins from our stash. It is accessible to beginners as some testers never had knitted a hat or colorwork before.
