Simnia Hat includes the patterns for a matching: blanket, booties & mitts making this series of patterns ideal to create gifts for a new baby.
Simnia Hat is also available as part of an ebook: Simnia Layette.

Simnia Hat has earflaps which are made first, then you will cast on more stitches to work the body of the hat. Instructions are given for a single colour but if preferred the shells could be knitted in a contrast yarn as seen on the red and grey hat.

Each item in this set has a patterning reminiscent of sea shells. It is a repeat of six stitches and is easy to memorise. Each item is seamless for baby’s comfort.
