About:
I designed this hat as our family planned a trip to Queenstown, in the South Island of New Zealand. When we visit this spectacular landscape, we always drive the road to Glenorchy, a quiet lakeside town with indescribable mountain views. This hat has been designed to reflect the mountainous landscape, and the deep valleys and ravines that surround the area. The colour I chose reflects the deep grey and blue of Lake Wakatipu.

Designed with two stitch cables or alternative instructions for twisted stitches, on a background of stocking stitch gives subtle texture. The pattern is both written and charted for working in the round in 6 sizes.

This Pattern has been professionally Tech edited and tested by a group of amazing testers.
