The nature in general and gardens in particular are strong sources of inspiration for my designs. This little bonnet reminds me the wisteria that grows in the garden of a friend. The colour of the wool looks like the violet of the wisteria flowers and the cable pattern looks like the crooked branches of the plant. Wisteria is a romantic name for a romantic hat. You may wish to add a ribbon to make it even more romantic!

The shape is simple, knitted in the round from bottom to top. It is slightly slouchy and very stretchy. It is offered in one size, which fits all heads from 52 cm to 58 cm (21 in to 23 in).
