Using original Jamieson’s Spindrift colours. Knitted magic loop, using a 100cm circular needle throughout,

I took advice from a IG knitting pal, and went down a size from what I would have chosen, because she said Wilma’s hats are usually generous and I wanted mine to be fitted, rather than slouchy. For the record, my head circumference is 54cm and the small size (knit on 2.5mm needles) fits me perfectly.

Did I weave in all those ends? Nah! Of course not, I knotted them, (using a double overhand knot), and cut off the excess, which is much quicker. I have a pair of Shetland gloves, hand knitted in Shetland and if they can knot their ends, so can I.

I’m in love with the crown!
