The Cake Fridge Hat was originally part of Grand Shetland Adventure Knits, my book with Mary Jane Mucklestone.

This hat is worked from the brim to the crown, beginning with a ribbed brim. Fair Isle charts are then worked for the body of the hat through the crown decreases. An optional pom-pom can be added.

Inspired by an actual cake fridge at the side of the road in Shetland where you can stop to pick up sweet treats.
