Can you stand another freebie?? I just finished a hat for my husband to wear during the 2018 Birkebeiner. The race occurs right when the Winter Games wrap up, so it is very festive and exciting! This year a local female skier, Jessie Diggins, is on the US team. Last season, Diggins became the most decorated U.S. cross-country skier, male or female, in world championship history. So we are really looking forward to seeing how she does!
I reverse engineered the hat from photographs and wrote it up as a pattern — though others beat me to it! I used invisible stranding to do the red on the diamond motif, which was very annoying to say the least! Duplicate stitch may be a better way to go!
Beautiful hat! I love the colors. May I please ask what “invisible stranding” is? Thank you for sharing the pattern with us 🙂

Wonderful! I see the same pattern is used in the closing ceremonies sweater and gloves. I may have to make a pair of fingerless mitts as well. Thank you!

I saw your beautiful hat. I was excited when I saw your reference to Hayward Wisconsin, I live in Spooner, which is 27 miles away. Good luck at the Berkie.
