Be so cozy in a Vera Swiss Darn Hat! If you haven’t tried duplicate stitch (Swiss darning) before, you’re going to love it! This fun Fair Isle effect is added afterwards with a yarn needle, and is a skill you can apply to any knitting or crocheted fabric. Finish off with a giant pom pom and enjoy! MillaMia Naturally Soft Super Chunky has miles of loft and a twist that brings stitch definition to life. You’ll love the deliciously soft handle to knit and wear.

HINTS AND TIPS
Swiss darning the motif on leads to a much crisper contrast
between the two colours and a neater finish. Swiss darning is
also known as ‘duplicate stitch’ in the USA.
