Two version using the same Fair Isle motifs.

Made for the Year of Natural Fibres, this hat can be either smart or useful! The simple version has no shaping, and the i-cord on the top can be tied in several ways, or left loose. The version with the shaped top can eithr be worn city style on the top of the head, or pulled right down over the ears for dog walking in the wind and rain!
