Donna Smith’s “Baa-ble Hat” has been charming knitters since it was first published for Shetland Wool Week back in 2015. We’ve seen it knit up in many different yarns and colorways over the years – I’ve just knit my third “Baa-ble Hat,” myself! I used the wonderfully wooly Harrisville Highland, a great choice for this now-classic pattern.
I had fun picking colors for this one, and noticing the subtle variations in the heathered shades as I knit. Loden Blue has bright teal fibers mixed in with the darker ones, and Cornflower blends sky and lavender for a unique blue.
I picked out six more color combinations besides, and doodled them for a preview of the hats I hope they become!
