Quynn’s impish charm comes from the combination of chullo-style earflaps – perfectly integrated with the body of the Hat and worked using simple increases and decreases – and a gentle pixie point.
Worked in aran weight and with six sizes provided, it knits up fast enough to kit out the whole family.
