Are you tired of boring beanies? Do you long for something a little more… ewe-nique? Look no further!

This adorable hat features a quartet of woolly wonders – four fluffy sheep. Knit this hat for the little flock-star in your life and prepare for them to be the envy of all their ovine-obsessed friends.

recommend using Ladderback Jackard technique to make this hat as there would be a lot of floats to catch in this design if knitted stranded and the contrasting colour can make this hard to hide.

If you’re unsure, this video is the best I’ve seen for detaling:

I have included two versions of the chart. A plain version and a ladderback jackard version, which details the jackard stitches that will be on the needles for the colourwork section.
