Design
This highly textured hat is worked in the round from the bottom-up. Featuring twisting cables that open up into beautiful lilies with crocheted bobbles inside. Narrow inserts of simple lace break up the cables as they gradually come together in the crown of the hat. This pattern is written in ONE ADULT SIZE but will fit between a 16”/41 cm and 23”/58 cm head circumference. The pattern is charted and also includes separate written instructions.
