A warm hat featuring a wicker-like cable pattern and broad, fold-over rib, ideal for the cold and windy season. Two tassels are sewn to the top of the hat.

The hat is worked with a wool and nettle mix yarn in Aran weight. The yarn is spun from the fibre found inside the stem of the nettle plant.

Nettle has been used for 2000 years for its strength and durability as a textile. Nettle grows abundantly worldwide without the need for harmful pollutants or pesticides, making it eco-friendly and sustainable.

The instructions are for 4 sizes, from a 6 months old child to a large adult and include charts and fully written instructions.
