Description:
If you like texture The Convertible Bobble Hat & Fingerless Gloves are the set for you.

I have called this set convertible because if offers so many different wearing options. The hat can be worn toque style with a turned back brim or as a slouchy beanie. Using a brooch pin makes the pom detachable so the hat can be worn without the pom or you can add a variety of colours to match other outfits. The fingerless gloves have options too. You can keep them simple with a thumb slit or add a thumb gusset for additional warmth.

The hat and gloves were designed as compliments to the Cancer Ribbon Shawl (pattern sold separately) and given as a gift to my dear friend that was battling breast cancer. This explains my colour choice but you can see by the testers’ versions they look beautiful in an array of colours.

You many notice the ribbon symbol on the hat pattern. This symbol indicates that this pattern is part of my Cancer Hat Series. This means that special consideration has been given to the design including stitch choice, fit and shape so that it is suited to cancer patients with hair loss. but that doesn’t mean it is just for cancer patients, it is suitable for everyone.
