**Pattern Only** Zig Zag Blocks Hat Pattern
**Pattern Only** Zig Zag Blocks Hat Pattern
While I was out on a yarn crawl, I had mustard yellows, reds, earthy greens, and browns down as a colorway combination to keep an eye out for. I wasn’t thrilled about it. I didn’t see how I could possibly find something that I liked that would still satisfy the craze for these autumnal colors. Was I wrong; boy, was I wrong. Abstract Fiber was holding a pop-up at a Portland yarn shop and I practically tripped over my feet trying to get to her yarn. I found the perfect colorway in Hopworks and knew it was exactly what I was looking for. The Zig Zag Blocks are a great way to let your head breathe while still being warm and cozy.

Yarn Substitution Note: Any Aran weight or light worsted weight yarn can be substituted for the yarns used in the sample project. Please consider supporting independent dyers if you can, however. They make some really cool and unique yarns that will elevate your project into one-of-a-kind territory.
