Licht Hat
If you love a quick, but interesting project this pattern is for YOU! Enjoy learning new stitches while creating an adorable, cosy hat that’s perfect for last minute gifts.

This fun project combines cluster stitches and cables to create embossed trees on the surface of the fabric. The accompanying step-by-step tutorial video will guide you through each unusual stitch. Licht knits up quickly in bulky yarn – almost instant gratification whether you’re making a last minute gift or taking a moment to knit for yourself. Plus it’s just the right length for cosying up with a holiday movie or two. And of course it wouldn’t be complete without a cute Pom Pom!
