Rhoni's Brattleboro Hat

Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande
Color: 100 (Natural)
Content: 100% Alpaca
Care: Hand wash and lay flat to dry
Needles: US 6 / 4mm
Pattern: Brattleboro Hat
Modification: Knit the band and button area as one piece and did not make the buttons functional. They are nice black safety buttons, which I thought looked more classy.

I looked for some soft yarn that had a “classic” look and color for my sister. This is like the softest yarn I have ever worked with. I have to work with it again! The hat went much quicker than the baby version, since it’s bulky. Still a fan of this style of hat.

This definitely classifies as the pattern I have knit the most of, since I have now made 3. Granted this one and the baby were modified for my gauge and such. I do love this pattern.
