I have been combining my love of plants with my knitting design in a collection of hats. Dahlias are brilliant for late summer, early autumn colour. For this hat I was inspired by the bi-coloured petals of one of the Dahlias I grew from seed.
The hat is knitted in the round, following a traditional tam style of crown shaping. I’ve used merino sock yarn to create a soft and cosy hat.
It is available as an individual pattern and also part of an ebook of 8 patterns.
