Hat Construction
This fun woolly hat starts with a twisted knit ribbing that continues to the lower portion of the thistle in a decorative double moss stitch. A pattern of yarn overs and knit two togethers creates an easy lacework. The picot bind off edge and the gathering at the top of the hat provides a festive ruffle of the thistle flower.

Enjoy this unique Whimsical Thistle Hat. Fair warning, if you are standing in a garden or a field in the Scottish Highlands, the bees and/or hummingbirds might think you have something on the top of your head that they need to investigate.
