The Holdfast Hat was inspired by rippling water moving over stationary vegetation. The three colors invite to play with your favorite colorways, or branch out of your comfort zone a little!
The hat is worked from the brim up. After the one-color brim you work stranded colorwork throughout the body and the crown, never working more than two colors at a time.

We're so delighted that we're able to add Holst Garn to our products, starting with their super star Supersoft! Supersoft is a classic non-superwash yarn that's perfect for colorwork, soothing stockinette, and texture.
It's a blend of 50% Merino and 50% Shetland, making it both soft and durable.
Hold it single for a delicate fabric or double to create a DK-weight yarn.
