LOMBARD STREET
Three columns of two-step cables anchor the Lombard Street hats as they wind their way through an unusual background: delightfully squishy garter stitch. Written for three height/brim options, you can work your Lombard Street as a deep, luxurious double-brimmed slouch, a single-brimmed, just-barely slouchy version, or a more fitted, unisex beanie. mYak’s glorious Baby Yak Medium knits up quickly, while showing just enough detail in every stitch, and provides glorious warmth and resilience for its weight. Choose a neutral or desaturated shade for a sophisticated, urban look, or choose a brighter, more saturated shade for a more youthful, festive version. A 2x2 ribbed brim with an optional tubular cast on makes for a polished finished look. Quick to work and satisfying engaging to knit, Lombard Street makes an excellent gift hat for a lucky loved one, or, with that perfect skein of yarn you’ve been saving, for yourself!
