In Search of the Seine Hat

Frame your face with this stylish and striking beanie inspired by cast-iron Parisian fencing Simple slip-stitch cables play against horizontal colourblocks. 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.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.
