A richly textured hat featuring bobbles, cables, twisted stitches, and an intelligent ribbing that stays beautifully in place. It’s not the easiest project — you’ll need a bit of knitting experience — but it’s absolutely worth the effort. The result is a stunning, dimensional fabric full of character and charm.
A perfect stash buster when you have just one special skein of worsted or DK yarn waiting to shine.
It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who appreciates the beauty of handknits.
