Retro Zig

Retro Zig Hat

I knit this hat in wool tapestry yarn I found at the thrift store. The yarn worsted weight yarn more suitable for outerwear than next to the skin, but that will make the hat quite sturdy and warm, perfect for someone who is outside a lot. The ribbing would’ve looked better if I switch to smaller needles to work the ribbing, or increased a few stitches before beginning the zigzag pattern. They had quite a bit of the green yarn so I went ahead and used it for most of the body of the hat, changing to other colors when I felt like I wouldn’t have enough to make another zigzag. The green and red give it give it a very retro Christmasy feel, but hopefully someone will enjoy the color combination!
