The Eucryphia is a small tree that produces scented flowers in the late Summer and is an important source of nectar collecting for bees. Eucryphia is native to South America, coastal and eastern Australia, and Tasmania.
Eucryphia means ‘well hidden’.

This is a pattern for a fisherman’s kep style hat with a folded brim.

It is knit in the round from the edge of the brim and then is turned inside-out to work the rest of the hat.
You may like to add a tassel at the top.

This pattern includes colour and symbol charts for both 4 & 6 colour versions.
