Floral The Way (by Maxim Cyr)

Description

This pattern is available in English and in French as a digital download.

The Floral The Way hat by Maxim Cyr is a cozy hat featuring a folded brim for extra warmth and comfort. The hat showcases a beautiful floral design in stranded colourwork, adding a vibrant touch to your winter wardrobe. Some rounds in the pattern use three colours, so experience in stranded colourwork is recommended. The floral motif brings a pop of colour and a hint of sunshine to the colder winter months.

If you are interested in knitting a matching set, there is also a cowl pattern available. Kits to knit the set can be found here.
