REGINA SILVA HAT
This pattern is part of a set, together with the Regina Silva Mittens, which you will find here.
This pattern is available in English.

Inspired by the quiet majesty of the woods, Regina Silva, which is Latin for “Queen of the Forest”, crowns you in a delicate wreath of leaves. The simple construction of the hat is paired with a crown of leaves in stranded colourwork, embellished with a touch of duplicate stitch embroidery. Pair it with the matching Regina Silva fingerless mittens for a complete set that’s as enchanting as a walk through the trees.
