Snowquill Hat - Digital Knitting Pattern
The Snowquill Hat was inspired by the last enduring leaves that hang on all through winter. In a way last year we were all just hanging on as the wind whipped us around. I wanted to create a crown of winter leaves to wear with pride. Suited for hiking or lounging fireside, the Snowquill is a quick, single skein hat that is perfect for gifting or a spontaneous cast on.
