Gold Leaf Hat Knitting Pattern

I totally fell in love with this yarn when I saw it! It has bits of gold leaf (and silver on the grey color) embellishing the strands. I like how it’s shimmery but not over the top. The yarn is super bulky and it makes for a quick knit. This Gold Leaf Hat knitting pattern features a ribbed design topped with a fluffy pom pom.

Yarn: Lion Brand Gold Leaf in grey silver and white gold
Size US 13 straight knitting needles
