DESCRIPTION
Onfoa means one for all and the name came up because the first sample (size 2) fits not only me, but also my 8- and my 2-year-old daughters. The textured fabric is very stretchy and snuggles perfectly around your head to keep you warm. The beautiful bulky baby alpaca yarn by Hansafarm is incredibly soft and cosy and comes in a huge variety of wonderful colors.

The pattern is tech edited by Amelia Hodsdon and it’s test knitted by a bunch of talented people here on ravelry. Check out their lovely projects.
