I loved the cable pattern in Kitra so much I decided to design a cowl and a hat with the same cable pattern. Kitra means “crowned one,” and the beautiful name reflects the shape of the hat, has a crown shape due to how the cables are worked. And it has some fun little points at the top made from the bobbles. It was also designed with Shibui Dune, a mix of baby camel and silk forming a deeply hued yarn that knits into a rich fabric without losing its natural roots. Now you can wear the crown on your head.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knitted.
