Kobuk Hat Pattern

PDF Pattern

By Caitlin Hunter

Kobuk can be knit either by combining 2 yarns together, one strand of DK weight and one of laceweight mohair (as pictured in sample), or with a single strand of worsted weight. The choice is yours!

Nothing says winter to a northerner quite like fresh snowfall and a hot drink in hand. The light, fluffy flakes can make the whole world feel like a snow globe, and the picturesque landscape of Alaska’s mountains and rivers certainly don’t detract from that vision. This hat is inspired by the spicy scents at Alaska’s own Kobuk Coffee Co., where cinnamon, clove, and orange from their signature tea mingle with the stronger richness of freshly ground coffee. Grab a hot tea and pop this cozy hat on your head to keep warm, and go walking in your own winter wonderland!
