The Design

“All about softness & color.”

With the subtlest of details and simplest of shapes, the is all about the way you feel when you wear it. Its clean lines—no visible edging treatment, no cuff, and nearly no visible shaping—are perfect for sublimely soft, squishy yarns that produce dense, delicious fabric. Plus, its simplicity is a perfect canvas for playing with color-blocks!

We knit this version of our Minimalist Hat in two high-contrast colors of Lang . Worsted-weight and oh, so soft, this yarn has a loose, chainette construction. Precious softly waving fibers of cashmere and nylon give this yarn (and this adorable hat) plenty of puff.
