The texture of this adorable hat reminds me of a snowball. Would make a cute photography prop for any winter setting. Matching leg warmer pattern coming soon.

The texture is unlike any textured patterns I’ve ever seen sold on any other pattern sites. It can be a challenge for some to complete certain rounds so, I have included detailed photos about where to place particular stitches in order to achieve this beautiful texture. If you’re up to a challenge, you will love this hat as much as I do.
