Awbury Hat

**Introducing the Year of (Bulky) Hats!** We continue to be overwhelmed at the positive reception to our [Year of Hats][1] from 2019, and it was a no brainer to do it again in [Germantown Bulky][2]! You may recognize Awbury as a bulky version of our popular [July Hat][3] from 2019! Courtney initially designed the July Hat as a nice break from more complicated knitting projects - it is small enough to be portable, and simple enough that you can knit it while hanging pool side, or relax with a glass of your favorite beverage after a long day out. **Worthy of Note** The Awbury Hat is worked in the round from the bottom up. The body is worked in a large graphic triangle pattern which is both written and charted. Integrated decreases shape the crown. **Specifications YARN** Kelbourne Woolens Germantown Bulky (100% N.
