Designer Alexandra Atepaeva of Purl Bear Designs presents Changing Winds. Knit in Sora’s dusky Rose and deep Indigo, this cozy hat features a graphic knit-and-purl pattern, framed by a deep folded brim and generous pom pom. Sora’s wool and nettle blend brings subtle variation and a gentle halo, adding depth and dimension to the textured motif.

Worked in the round from brim to crown, the hat begins with 1 x 1 ribbing before moving into an engaging, easy-to-follow stitch pattern. A satisfying knit for adventurous beginners and a beautiful way to explore color and texture in Sora.
