Guthrie Hat
Guthrie Hat
The Guthrie hat is a fun colorwork beanie for the whole family! Written for a range of sizes from children to XL adult this pattern is written in both worsted and sport weight versions, making it a great stash buster! Options are also included for a slouchier or closer fit. Samples pictured both feature the slouchy fit.
For the worsted weight version (oatmeal color sample) I chose [Rosa Pomar Brusca][1] for the main color and [Spincycle Dream State][2] for the colorwork.
The sport weight version (black sample) uses [Rosa Pomar Vovó][3] for the main color and [Spincycle Dyed in the Wool][4] for the colorwork.
You can find the Guthrie sweater pattern [here][5] if you would like to make a matching set!
