Marled Marlow is a cozy, modern hat with two pattern versions to showcases the beauty of marl. Version 1 is the original design, knit by holding North Bay Fiber BayHouse™ DK with a lace-weight yarn such as Bella Suri, creating a soft fabric with delicate halo and rich marled depth. Version 2 is knit by holding BayBlend DK with Bella Suri Feather DK for a slightly cozier feel. Featuring a generous ribbed brim, smooth stockinette body, and a neat 4-point crown decrease, Marled Marlow is simple, customizable, and fun to knit.
