Wish to get your yarn and pattern both at the same time? Feather in My Cap is now available as a kit from Luna Grey Fiber Arts.

Feather in My Cap is a crown-down, slightly slouched hat, knitted in the round. The feather motif is what makes this minimalistic hat special. The hat is worked primarily in Stockinette stitch, creating the perfect background to highlight the lace feather motif and ensuring that this hat is a fast and relaxing knit. The slip-stitch shaft of the feather is continued down through the brim ribbing, giving the appearance of a feather on a hat.
