About:
Many of my designs are inspired by nature and the beauty that is reflected in the landscapes, rivers, lakes and seas that make up our beautiful country Aotearoa New Zealand. This hat has been designed to reflect the reefs and the Kelp forests that grow around New Zealand shores. The Kelp and Reef plants grow like vines through our waters. Which led me to the name Sea Vine Hat.

Designed with two stitch cables or alternative instructions for twisted stitches, with a larger twisted cable running in between the smaller cabled section. The pattern is both written and charted for working in the round in a range of sizes.

This pattern has been professionally Tech Edited and Tested by a group of wonderful knitters.
