Sprigs of Lavender Knit Hat
In 2022, I took a weekend trip to Sequim, Washington. I was inspired by all of the Lavender farms in the area. Despite being between Seattle and Forks, both notorious for rainy weather, the rainshadow from the Olympic Mountains gives Sequim the perfect dry conditions for lavender farming.
Sprigs of Lavender Knit Hat was originally designed in a Crochet style to mimic the look of knitting.
