This year I had a wonderful holiday in Anglesey, North Wales. I bought this Cambrian wool, spun and dyed in Wales and designed this hat inspired by the gentle curves of the North Wales coastal path.

It’s knitted in the round, following a repeated pattern in different colours. It used a mini cake of each colour
