Meet Zooey. Named for the J.D. Salinger character, Zooey Glass. I don’t know if he would have actually worn this hat, but I like to think that he would’ve enjoyed some Fair Isle. I’m working on some Franny mittens. I’m about halfway through...

Two of my favorite pudding flavors also make lovely colors for the Ripley hat by Ysolda. I used Ella Rae Kamelsoft for both of these hats. The yarn develops a soft halo with some wear. The pattern is very easy to knit, but even on my fourth incarnation of the hat I...
