Dashes
A colourwork hat covered in little dashes. The stitch pattern is easy to memorise and perfect to customise. Choose a high contrast colour combination for a big impact or go for a low contrast, subtle look. The crown shaping is made visible for an extra detail. Available in 7 sizes, make one or make a bunch.
On this pattern page you’ll find a fun little tool I made for you try out different colour combinations.
