Hello friends! So I know its August and you may be wondering why on earth am i posting a knit hat pattern and to be honest i am probably wondering the same but i am a lover of chunky yarn, winter warmers and everything cosy so i thought why not 🙂
The yarn i used for this pattern is Hayfield Bonus Chunky Yarn in colour ‘starling’ and i have to be honest it is one of my most favouritist (is that even a word?!) yarns to use, its soft to touch and it also has a good range of colours, i just love the flecked bits of yarn in this yarn ball which consits of browns, greens and navy, perfect for winter, right?! Plus this is a very easy pattern to follow and even if you are a newbie to knitting this is perfect for you and on the plus side you will have it in time for winter or gift it for Christmas!
Have i convinced you that we should all start following winter patterns yet? Hehe!!
Hope you enjoy this weeks free knitting pattern and come and follow Wool and Stitch on Instagram to be kept up to date with latest designs @wool_and_stitch
