The Floral The Way hat is a cozy hat featuring a folded brim for extra warmth and comfort. The hat showcases a beautiful floral design in stranded colourwork, adding a vibrant touch to your winter wardrobe. Some rounds in the pattern use three colors, so experiences in stranded colourwork is recommended.

The floral motif brings a pop of colour and a hint of sunshine to the colder winter months.

If you’re interested in creating a matching set, there is also a hat pattern available.
