When Ewe Wish features a flock of sheep grazing in a green meadow beneath a starry night sky.

Red flowers against the green add a subtle nod to Christmas colors—but I didn’t intend for it to be strictly a Christmas hat. Winter is a long season, and with this style, I see no reason that the sheep should be restricted to December.

Sparkling beads bring the sheep’s eyes and the stars to life. (Not a bead person? It’s fine to omit them. The hat remains perfectly cute.)

The details:
·       Sizes from baby through large adult
·       Worsted-weight yarn (I used Malabrigo Rios)
·       Stranded colorwork, knit in the round
