Cherries on Top
Cherries on Top is a stranded colorwork pattern designed featuring a cherry motif across the circumference of the body of the hat. It is worked in the round, bottom-up. There are instructions for four different sizes, from newborn to child. It’s perfect for using up left over green and red yarns for the colorwork section as it doesn’t require much yarn.
