Harbour Hat
A bit of History behind the name: Harbours in England
A harbour (British English; see spelling differences) or harbor (American English), (synonyms: wharves, haven). Harbour means to shelter or keep safe. A harbour is a place where ships may shelter. Some harbours are used as ports to load and unload ships. The port will have quays or piers where the ships may be moored or tied up and a transport system for taking goods inland. The UK’s largest Port is Grimsby and Immingham.

The Harbour Hat
The Harbour Hat works up quickly and is one of those classic styles that I always love to add to any outfit! It's packed full of comfortable stretch which also feels weightless as you wear it. Using the Wool Ease Thick and Quick yarn makes this feel super soft and squishy. Making it a perfect accessory for even the coolest days. Thick and Quick yarn also makes this project done in no time! There are so many color combos that would look lovely with this pattern.
Alternated in two colorways gives this an effect of having a separate brim, giving it a bit of personality all to its own.
The perfect hat for a beginner to pro! Work one up for your entire family and friends (GIFTS) as this is a hat that will look great on everyone and go with countless outfits!
Working these up in different color combos will give each one a unique feel too. Some of the T and Q colorways that have a variegated tones can give this an Ombre look when used on the brim, melting into a solid colorway on the top.
If you have just over an hour, scraps of yarn left over, you can have your self a hat!

GAUGE
**Please check your gauge before you start this Pattern to match the finished measurements for this pattern:
It’s best to make your swatch slightly bigger than what the pattern states it should measure so you can measure it in the center of your square, getting an accurate reading. You can do this by adding 2 additional stitches and work 2 additional rows. Do not count the first and last stitch in your measurement or the first and last row.
Needle Size Suggestions:
If your swatch has less stitches, swatch again using a smaller needle.
If your swatch has more stitches, swatch again using a larger needle.
