Artis explores the flowing curves and floral forms manifesting nature and beauty in every detail; the buds on the double brim, and the twigs and vines on the body gathering to form a flower at the crown. It is an absolute eye-catcher for colder days!

Artis is worked bottom up and in the round, starting with a decorative cast on. The brim is knit in a patterned rib before leading to the serrated fold line. The body features the eye-catching all-over textured pattern which leads to a delightful flower formed by the crown decreases.
