Lilienstil Hat is a lightweight, slouchy beanie featuring a floral motif, accompanied by a folded ribbed band and pom pom. Named for the German term referring to “lily style” Art Nouveau, this hat carries a springlike spirit into the cooler months of the year. This pattern is recommended for intermediate level knitters who are comfortable with stranded colorwork, reading from charts, and knitting in the round. The hat pictured above was knit with Tosh Merino Light in colorways Alizarin and Antique Lace.
