Inspired to create something for British springtime, this hat came about after two years of wondering what to make with this lovely yarn. Manos del Uruguay is a silk and merino blend and is seriously scrummy! This hat has become a firm favourite of mine and best seller. I love how the yarn colour works with the pattern, and how the subtle changes in the dye show through in certain lights.
The pattern is created using a simple lace repeat that is easily memorised, fun to knit and quick to finish up.

Two versions of the pattern are available when you click to buy, to knit flat or in the round.
