Helen‘ s Hat
This beautiful hat will keep you very warm and cosy on winter morning walks, as well as as being a conversation starter..!
Made from soft Ryeland wool, Helen’s Hat, named after the lady who runs Smeaton Farm herself, is wonderfully textured, providing both warmth and insulation against cold winds. The textured stitches in turn transform into quite a mesmerising pattern!
Helen’s Hat is knitted in the round from the bottom up, for a quicker project to knit, and with no seams to interrupt the beautiful pattern motifs.
