Nettare features a bold, interlaced colourwork motif. With clever use of moving markers the pattern remains continuous and unbroken around the Hat, converging at the beautiful detailed crown.

Worked bottom-up and in the round, the pattern is provided in both written and charted format, and is graded through gauge. Two sizes are included, and further help for grading with different yarns and needle sizes is available on the Woolly Wormhead forum.

Like all Woolly Wormhead patterns, the chart is provided in greyscale and the pattern doesn’t rely on colour at all - making it printer friendly and suitable for knitters with colour-blindness.

You’ll also receive links to premium photographic tutorials that you can download, covering all of the techniques needed to complete the Hat.
