Anagram Hat & Wrap

The Anagram Hat is a cosy beanie with crisp texture, and its sibling the Anagram Wrap is a large dramatic rectangle with an all-over lace pattern. The stitch patterns combine modern geometric lace with garter stitch for texture and squish factor.

This pattern duo was first published in amirisu Winter 2018, Issue 15.
