Warm without being bulky, this hat is part of a winter accessories set by Nicki Merrall with a sophisticated look. The set comprises a loose cowl, a hat and a pair of smart gloves. All are decorated with a pattern of bobbles and twisted stitches, inspired by the seed heads seen on wintry plants the motifs stand out on a background of reverse stocking stitch.
Nicki has used the 4ply Devonia yarn from John Arbon Textiles. This is a beautifully sleek and lustrous blend of British wools that has a subtle halo.
