This gorgeous hat features a colourwork pattern of falling hearts shooting down to match the jersey Falling Hearts and the cardigan Nena. This hat is knit from the brim upwards and is perfect for using up those small part balls of wool.

Knit using stranded stocking stitch it has both written and charted instructions and has charts for both outlined and fully coloured in hearts. Mix and match between the hearts for a unique look.
