this is a hat inspired by the one my 94 year old great aunt stella has been knitting for 40 years.
it’s a very simple pattern. you need only know how to knit in the round, knit, purl and k2tog.
i knit the yellow version with nature wool chunky and the blue with malabrigo.

for more info, see my blog post:
