Pay What Works: In an effort to find a balance between more financial accessibility and sustainable pricing, I now offer a “Pay What Works” model. This allows for financial flexibility while still valuing and respecting the work and energy I and others provide in the making of this pattern. The price shown on Ravelry is the “true” value of the pattern that best reflects the work put into creating this design.

This design was inspired by one of the season’s most iconic images: the mistletoe. The cables and bobble stitches decorating the body of the hat are meant to mimic the leaves and berries of the plant. The result is a stylish cap, rich in texture and intricate details, while also keeping your head warm and cozy this winter. It is possible to knit up two hats using one skein of Mon Sheep Shop DK yarn, so you can make one for yourself and one for a knit-worthy friend!

Petite Histoire:
Ce design a été inspiré par l’un des symboles les plus représentatifs de cette saison: le gui.
