Stripey scrappy hats
Designed by Jen Geigley
Field Guide no. 12: Big joy
Specs & Details
Start with a few balls of Rowan’s Big Wool in lively colors. The more of these you make, the more inventive your color combinations will become. Bonus points if you leave the ends on the outside as decoration: the scrappier, the better!
We are big believers in getting a groove on and making a batch of gifts.
