Funyin
This hat was inspired by John Clappison’s ‘onion’ cruet design for Hornsea Pottery (1963). Combining colourwork and cables, it is also a fun knit. During the design process, onion became fun-ion, which in turn morphed into fun-yin (which translates from Scots as one-that-is-fun, or that-fun-thing). I hope you have fun knitting yourself a Funyin!
