This pattern is available as part of our digital collection Making Stories & Friends Winter 2018.

A hat to keep you company through the ups and downs of friendship, of life, really; a hat that serves as a memory keeper and memory creator; a hat that keeps you warm, day in and day out.

Marie Greene‘s Memories with its all-over textured pattern
that gently twists into the crown decreases and its slouchy shape surely delivers on all these fronts.

It‘s designed for Fleece & Harmony Fingering, a very special farm yarn from Canada, and plays beautifully with the light tonal variation in the colorway shown in the sample.
