Setmurthy

A fitted hat to keep out the worst of what the weather has to offer us without too much bulk. Strong lines give way to plain knitting in the round as you work this beanie from the bottom up. A unisex hat that calls for just a single skein, perfect for getting to know our Cumbria Fingering yarn.
