Go surfer-chic in pink waves this winter. As a chunky roving yarn, Namaste is not twisted, giving it an almost felted look. The airy stitch pattern means the cosy hat remains light and breathable while still keeping your head warm.
NOTES
Hat is worked from the brim upwards in joined rounds without turning.
