Slipt Horizontal

Sometimes we just don’t want to pick sides … this reversible hat knits up in a flash and creates two equally wonderful hats combining colour and texture to maximum effect.

Bold horizontal pops of colour adorn a simple stocking stitch background or vertical splashes of colour peak from the comforting ripples of reverse stocking stitch.

Refined details like the alternate cable cast on elevate the finish, and give you the perfect chance to learn new skills.

Worked from the brim to the crown in a cosy aran weight this quick knit is the perfect winter warmer, easy but fun to knit and great for adding a splash of colour to the cold winter days. Available in five sizes why not whip up a few for all the family?
