The Phoebe Hat
THE PHOEBE HAT
Meet Phoebe. A delightfully quirky winter hat you’ll want to knit again and again. Light as air, soft as a kitten, and feminine in a street-smart kind of way, Phoebe is an utterly addictive knitting project that works up surprisingly quickly with simple stranded colour work. I enjoyed knitting the first one so much I immediately cast on another…you know, just in case Phoebe’s twin stops by ;)
F.R.I.E.N.D.S 2.0: All 10 hats from this collection have been added to my “projects” page and updated with new yarns and/or expanded details on customization. Link via main photo.
