Boysenberry Hat: a sweet way to keep warm! Isn’t it great to see the return of bobbles to knitted work? They make such a clever and exuberant contribution to fabric texture and are great fun for the knitter. This bell-shaped hat with a tassel on top features a puffy berry motif on a background of directional stitches. An I-cord bind off from a provisional cast on creates a subtly shaped edge. Check out the matching Boysenberry Mittens!
