Lush, textured and incredibly soft…That is how I would describe my new hat design GOSSIP. Twisted ribbing gracefully transforms into the textured cables with eyelets in-between. Continued twisted stitches gives this hat an elegant structure. The unique cable & eyelet stitch pattern ends at the top in an alluring crown. I used black pom pom as a final touch and to keep the hat anchored. The cable pattern is engaging, but easy to create. I made a video tutorial to help you with this specialty stitch - all video links are listed below.

This design is a collaboration with an amazing company La Bien Aimée. I picked two yarns La Bien Aimée Mohair Silk & La Bien Aimée Merino Super Sock and knitted them as one in the stunning color AS IF. This is the most beautiful shade of hot pink that I’ve ever seen… And guess what? Kits are available at the link below! Get them while you can!
