Frame your face with this stylish and striking beanie inspired by cast-iron Parisian fencing Simple slip-stitch cables play against horizontal colour blocks. It’s a great use for leftover yarns. The slipped stitches make this an ideal project to try cabling without a cable needle.
Introducing In Search of the Seine, a hat and cowl set. In addition to my perennial desire to stop being cold, this one was inspired by our trip to Paris in 2014. Click here to read more about about how important it was that I got lost in Paris.
The hat comes in 6 sizes from Baby to Adult Large.
I had fun playing with colour blocks to make this a bold, graphic set. The cowl uses 4 colours while the hat uses the 3 accent colours you’ll have as leftovers.
