This listing is for a digital PDF download of the knitting pattern and does not include the materials to make the item. There are kits that include the yarn and pattern available here.
The Rimeflower Hat was inspired by early morning frost on the dried-out flower stalks in winter fields. It’s worked in two colours, in the round from the bottom up, with corrugated ribbing for the brim flowing into a stranded motif recalling flower stalks and blooms on the main body of the hat.
