The Bobbin Hat is a fun celebration of this unusual chain-link cable! In two styles, this hat can be knit as a skull cap or with a folded brim, and in Blasta Yarn it is warm and squidgy, with phenomenal stitch definition.

The Bobbin Hat was first featured in Stolen Stitches Celtic Knits Club 2022. Yarn kits and workshops can be purchased at www.stolenstitches.com
