Enceladus is a warm and cozy hat in half brioche stitch. This creates a thick, textured fabric. The folded brim gives a neat finish and ensures the hat will keep you cozy even in the depth of winter.

Enceladus works best in a tweedy yarn with flecks of colour. The grey sample is worked in Rowan Cashmere Tweed in colour Granite. Top with a pompom for an extra splash of colour.

Enceladus is named after one of Saturn’s moons.
