Product Details
I was inspired by the stranded colour work styles of Swedish Bohus knitting while creating this soft merino slouch hat. Keeping with the Baltic theme, I’ve used the Latvian braid cast-on method to create a striking zigzag brim around the edge of the hat, which is explained in the pattern. I worked the hat in four shades of Milla Mia’s Naturally Soft Merino.
