A subtle delicate design that is not too overpowering but brings alive beautifully soft yarn.

A refined knitted in the round pattern which lifts the 4ply yarn to a new level! Designed for as a medium sized woman’s hat - it can we knitted for either a beanie or a slouch style garment.

Salix is another name for willows, and where I live I am surrounded by willow trees. Inspiration for this design came from my daily walks in rural New Zealand where the seeds from the willow trees fall in the rivers and float down the waterways, tiny as they are, they cause a lovely ripple effect.
