The Brackenside Pines hat is a bottom-up hat, knitted in the round. Cosy and perfect for the cooler months, it is knitted using a strand of DK-weight & a strand of fingering-weight yarn held together throughout. A simple shape with fun features to keep you interested for the whole project, it includes a tubular cast-on and a fun colourwork pattern with a little texture. The details have been inspired by a glorious line of trees near Whistlebare’s studio in Northumberland. It is a wonderful opportunity to knit this jumper in the yarn made just meters away from the inspiration!
