This is a traditional Scottish Tam style hat/beret worked in 4 ply pure wool using cream, green and red.
I wanted to create a Seasonal design inspired by Holly wreaths. The circular wreath is visible on the crown, with a sprig of holly in the centre.
The bows of the holly wreath are created around the front brim in bright red.
