Northern Lights Knit Hat

Add a pop of color to your winter gear when you make the Northern Lights Knit Hat! This easy knit hat pattern is as stylish as can be and will be a cheerful accessory to wear during the dull days of winter.

From the blogger: "This is a new and absolutely adorable pattern for the cable hat in the gradient colors. I like this braid pattern and even earlier used it for my famous Bulky Braided Headband. The secret about this hat is that you do not need to buy a special yarn to make that smooth change of colors. It will be enough if you have 2 skeins of two different but at the same time matching colors. Knit in two strands of yarn at one and follow the pattern for step-by-step explanation."
