The Amalthea Hat can be made from what is left of one skein each of Frabjous Fibers/Wonderland Yarns Unicorn and Cheshire Cat yarns after making the Amalthea shawl ~ The shawl pattern can be found free online here. The hat is a bit slouchy, and is made with a solid base of Cheshire Cat and a small overlay of Unicorn to tie in the lace pattern from the shawl. The name for this set was inspired by the name of a unicorn in one of my favorite movies from childhood. You are sure to stop the show when you wear this set out!!

The PDF of the Amalthea Hat pattern also includes the pattern for the Amalthea Shawl. The PDFs are not available separately, though the shawl pattern is available online for free at the link above.
