Designed by Claudia Q

My son, like many babies, was born without hair. A warm hat is a winter necessity for any child — that is why my book would not be complete without a cold weather favourite like Arvi, named after this cute little wearer.

The hat is worked from the brim up to the crown in the round. It has a wide, foldable brim for extra warmth and comfort. A Broken Garter Ridge Pattern adds contrast and interest.
