Greenery Hat

This richly textured hat features elegant leaves, crisp half-twisted ribbing, and contrasting seed stitch. The leafy motifs combine the occasional cluster stitch, two-stitch cables, and simple lace, but in any round you will only need to use one of these techniques so it’s simpler than it sounds. To complete the set, the companion patterns Greenery Cowl and Greenery Mitts will soon be available separately.
