In Welsh mythology, Blodeuwedd (pron. Blodd-eye-weth) was a maiden created out of flowers. This vibrant green yarn flecked with jewel bright colours evokes for me that idea of a flowery, grassy meadow, and the open topped slightly organic shaped headdress allows space for far more hair than usually looks good under such a fitted hat. The enclosed neckpiece gives an effect that reminds me very slightly of a medieval wimple, and seems just right for a cool spring morning walk.

This is a new pattern, please let me know if you find any errors. (Note: The description for the cast on just says ‘co 80’, for this, please read ‘cast on 80 over 4 needles and join without twisting’)
