Sometimes inspiration strikes from the most surprising places. The main colourwork pattern used in this hat comes from a house in the game Overwatch. Set in a fictional version of Venice, this house has a beautiful tile pattern, which lends itself perfectly to knitting. While I don’t even enjoy playing the game, it is a lot of fun to watch and has wonderful graphics. So what can a knitter do but adapt it into something to keep yourself warm?
This pattern is so addictive, I also put in onto a sock and cowl pattern!
