Using Nordic colourwork the well-known blue willow china pattern has been turned into a hat that’s more of a fashion statement than cold-weather wear. It depicts a willow tree, a pagoda, bushes and birds, with the muted textures of a wool-blend yarn emulating the beautiful, blurred imagery of a willow plate.
