This cosy little hat is knitted using one of my favourite cable patterns – a honeycomb design that reminds me of bees, honey and the gentle rhythm of nature. The interlocking circles feel full of meaning – a quiet nod to the circle of life, or simply circles of joy.

It’s a beautiful knit, perfect for gifting or keeping little ones warm with love and care stitched into every row.
