This pattern is part of To the Shore - a collection of 5 patterns – 1 garments, 4 accessories – inspired by my love of the coast of Britain, celebrating some of my favourite British yarns.

You can also buy the hat together with the matching cowl for £5.00, no code necessary.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The soft greys of winter beaches are reflected in this snuggly hat, with bands of simple lace and texture in two colours suggesting lines of foam along the shore. Both hat and the matching cowl are reversible, making them the easiest accessories to pull on for a quick walk on a wintery day. The blend of lambswool and alpaca is dreamily soft and packs a lot of warmth into fine fabric. No matter how wild the weather, Carnish will offer comfort.
