THIS LIGHTWEIGHT hat and matching gloves are knitted in a practical, hard-wearing 4ply yarn from Scheepjes, called Metropolis, which comes in a dizzying choice of 80 shades. Caroline Birkett’s design features a pattern of thick and thin stripes in two shades of blue, separated by bands in a rusty orange shade formed using slip stitches and twisted stitches.

Note: Gloves pattern is listed separately on Ravelry
