Say hi to the little sister of Vanilja hat!

Vanilja light is knitted with lovely Finnish sheep wool and fluffy silk mohair. The hat is knitted from bottom up with nice ribbing. Like in the original Vanilja hat, purl stitches in the decreases are a fun little detail and so is being able to wear the beanie on either side! Easy to knit and easy to use :)

It’s a perfect hat for gentle winter days and spring!
