Tulipa was inspired by images of the Gardens of Dior and Monet.

Gardens in the full bloom of Summer, shaded paths, bright notes and varied greens!

Please note – this hat breaks one of the rules of fair-isle – there are 10 rounds with three colours carried. This allows the curves to stand out!

Materials:
Fingering weight yarns – main (grey) 75m 82yds 100m, 110yds, secondary (dark green) 75m 82yds 100m, 110yds, tertiary (light green) 45m 50yds 55m, 60yds, contrasts (yellow and pink) 35m 38yds 40m, 45yds each.
