This smartly patterned design from Sandra Nesbitt combines tiny cables and travelling stitches worked in a rust colour, which stand out beautifully on the silver-grey background. The main fabric is complemented by the brim, which is knitted in two-colour corrugated ribbing.

Sandra has chosen DROPS Lima for her hat design - this DK-weight blend of wool and alpaca gives a soft and warming fabric, and is available in a wide choice of solid and heathered shades.
