The colors and ivy motif of this hat were inspired by two luminous tapestries—Flora and Pomona—produced by the William Morris workshop, part of the Arts & Crafts movement in the late 1800s.

This design uses 10 shades of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift yarn, but in true Fair Isle fashion only two colors are employed in a round.

#185 Sunglow
#526 Spice

The hat size can be adjusted, to a degree, by altering the gauge; I don’t recommend knitting this as fewer than 6.5 stitches per inch.
