The fresh color palette in light and dark blue adds a modern twist, departing from the traditional green and white associated with tree-themed hats. If a classic look appeals to you, opt for green trees on a white background for a charming Christmas touch. Knit with yarn made from recycled wool, nylon and cashmere, complemented by sustainably sourced viscose, this hat ensures a velvety soft and squishable texture while promoting eco-friendly practices.

This lovely hat features an all-over cable pattern that is embellished with seed beads for extra glamor. The project begins with a tubular cast-on for a polished look. After joining in the round, 1×1 ribbing is worked for approximately 4 inches to create a foldable brim, then the ribbing smoothly transitions into the beaded cable pattern. A small crochet hook is used to place a bead at the center of each cable, so there is no need to pre-string any beads in advance (and the design may of course be worked without any beads as well). The cables are an adaptation of Barbara Walker’s “Coin Cables” motif, modified to be worked with twisted stitches and left-crosses. The crown shaping of the hat uses strategic decreases to continue the cabling on a smaller scale. The size of the hat can easily be modified by adjusting the number of pattern repeats in each round or by working additional vertical repeats for a longer, slouchier hat, if desired.

This charming winter headband features a two-color brioche motif that is worked with a cozy bulky-weight MC yarn and a sparkly worsted-weight CC yarn. The suggested Hygge yarn makes the project super soft and warm to wear, and the Sparkle yarn is fun and glamorous, making the finished ear warmer a perfect accessory for any festive occasion. The headband begins with a basic long-tail cast-on and is worked flat in two-color brioche in a pretty stitch pattern (though plain two-color brioche ribbing could easily be substituted, if desired). The project concludes with a basic bind-off, then the cast-on and bind-off edges are sandwiched and sewn together to create the stylish twisted seam that can be worn at the front or back of the headband.

This two-tone beanie is right on trend and utilizes a technique that beginners will find a suitable challenge to build their skills. The beanie starts with a provisional cast on, is knit as a tube in one color and then shaped towards the crown to create a traditional beanie. To finish the second half of your new accessory, the hat is then picked up along the provisional cast on and the same thing is done to the other side in a contrasting color. Once finished, one side is turned inside and the brim is folded over, making a 100 percent reversible beanie with a contrast brim.
