Garden Hat is part of KDD’s My Place 2022 collection and I am very excited to contribute to it! (Thanks to Kate Davies!)
The pattern is inspired by my garden, by the red of fruit and flower peeking through green leaves and by the leaf crowns made in autumn with all kinds of colourful foliage.

Garden Hat is worked from the bottom up according to the charts given. A corrugated rib is followed twice by a lace and a colourwork section.
