The Varling Hat is using the same seersucker stitch pattern as used for the Varling Sweater and Varling Sweater Mystyle. It creates a beautiful texture and with the worsted or DK weight yarn is a quick and easy knit.
The pattern is techedited by woollenwords and testknitted by a bunch of talented testknitters!
