Mount Tabor

HAT

$8

Named after a verdant city park and neighborhood in Portland, Oregon, the Mount Tabor Hat captures the charm of traditional Nordic ski patterns. The area is known for its sweeping city views, peaceful wooded trails, and serene reservoirs—a beloved spot for catching sunsets, listening to live music, or simply relaxing on a park bench with your knitting.

Designed for LYS Day 2025, the Mount Tabor Hat is knit with two skeins of Tov, making it a perfect introduction to colorwork. Choose a bold, high-contrast pairing for a striking design, or keep it subtle with tonal shades. Either way, this hat is as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear. (Bonus: Two skeins of Tov will yield two Mount Tabor Hats.)
