NOTES
When I had the beautiful Cumbria yarn (TheFibreCo) in my hands for the first time, I knew it would be perfect for a structured or cabled hat. I found the wickerwork pattern and immediately fell in love with it and started calculating and knitting. There are plenty of hats with this stitch pattern out there, but I decided that this yarn deserves to have its own unique version. The name Wiwo is short for wickerwork.

The Pattern is tech edited and testknitted (please check the testers lovely verions)
