Snowflake Hat & Muffler Using Brooklyn Tweed Arbor

The Design “A flurry of stitches.” We’ve sprinkled a frosty, stranded colorwork motif around the Snowflake Hat & Muffler! The two-color pattern starts with a denser, zigzag ‘snowbank’, then moves to the Nordic-inspired snowflakes themselves, and finally lightens up with a dusting of lice stitch ‘flurries.’ The muffler is worked in the round from both ends and then grafted in the center, while the hat ends up in a two-pointed crown that’s just plain adorable. The drifting flurries of the Snowflake Hat & Muffler are crisp and cozy in Brooklyn Tweed Arbor! A DK-weight, worsted-spun yarn, Arbor is made of 23-micron Targhee fleece and was designed with defined stitches and textures in mind. Arbor also takes dye beautifully. Each color in its well-rounded palette is clear and deeply saturated—perfect for colorwork projects. The Details FINISHED SIZES Hat: Approx. 20"/51cm around x 8"/20cm deep; fits 20–22"/52-56cm head.
