Knit up your next favourite hat. Pair irresistible yarn with this beautiful Moonflower motif, and you’ll enjoy every stitch as well as the wearable result. Pick yarns that contrast boldly against each other and watch as the Moonflowers emerge. This mosaic knitting project looks more complicated than it actually is to knit. Use only one colour is worked per round with the design being created by slipping stitches.

Designed for DK weight yarn, this project also is a fun way to use up those fingering weight scraps, held double, for a fun contrast colour.

This “potato chip” knitting project flies off the needles - perfect for gift knitting.

A perfect accompaniment to the Moonflowers Shawl and the Moonflowers Cowl.
