This hat is part of a collection of Horticultural hats, which combine my passion for plants with my knitting design. It is the first hat I’ve designed using Fairisle slip stitch. It still uses only 2 strands of colour in every round, but also slips the occasional stitch from the previous round, creating a more speckled fabric, which was what I wanted for the effect of a meadow full of cornflowers, poppies, dog daisies and buttercups.
