Notes

What better gift for an aunt who took her nine-year-old niece to Paris for the weekend than a chic slouch hat patterned with the Eiffel Tower.

Another great Pekapeka design. Simple and effective. I cast on 102 stitches for the brim & increased to 108 in the first purl row. Knit five full pattern repeats - 24.5cm - before decreasing. Could easily stop after 3.5 repeats for an equally lovely but less Rasta hat. There’s a LOT of fabric in the back!

First time using Silver Lining and I gotta say, it’s gorgeous. Incredibly bouncy and smooshy soft.
