Save 20% off the Lazy Wind Blocker Collection (hat, mittens, and cowl) compared to buying all 3 patterns individually at full price

Have you heard the expression “a lazy wind”? It refers to when it feels like the wind goes right through you instead of blowing around you (hence it being lazy!). I designed this hat for just such a day. It is knit at a tighter tension than the one given on the yarn label to result in a denser, more wind resistant fabric to combat cold winter winds. The simple colorwork motifs contain no long floats making these an ideal first stranded colorwork project.

The colorwork motifs in this pattern are both charted and written out. You do not need to be comfortable working from charts in order to enjoy knitting this design!

Gauge: 24 stitches and 28 rows = 4 inches (10 cm) over colorwork pattern.

Hat: Requires between 200 – 300 m (219 – 328 yards) of DK yarn dependent on size chosen.

Cowl: Requires between 230 – 700 m (252 – 766 yards) of DK yarn dependent on size chosen.
