Morris Leaves Wrap & Hat
Inspired by the stunning botanical prints of Arts & Crafts master William Morris, this beautifully designed shawl and hat pattern is the ideal project for showcasing the mesmerizing color fade of a long-repeat color fade yarn, such as Wonderland Yarns Mad Hatter Sport. Utilizing just a single five-cake pack, this knitting project delivers plenty of WOW factor without breaking the bank!
The shawl is worked seamlessly, allowing for effortless construction and creative expression. You can create it just as shown, or if you prefer to have the edging harmonize with the body of the shawl, we’ve included an optional modification. This option involves starting with garter stitch and adding narrow bands of k1, p1 rib along the sides of the piece, perfect for those who love a coordinated look.
The accompanying hat is worked from the top down, beginning with a circular cast-on for a smooth and tidy finish. The finished measurements for the hat are 17 3/4" / 45 cm in circumference and 7 1/4" / 18.5 cm in length, with the brim folded up for added style and warmth. This makes it a cozy accessory for chilly days.
The yarn used in the sample comes in an impressive five-cake pack, offering a total of 1720 yards / 1573 meters of high-quality yarn. Remarkably, one pack is sufficient to create both the shawl and the hat, making it a cost-effective choice for your next knitting project.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, this versatile shawl and hat pattern is the perfect addition to your collection. Embrace your creativity, explore the beautiful color transitions, and enjoy the satisfaction of wearing or gifting a handmade accessory that combines elegance and warmth. Start your knitting adventure today with this exquisite pattern!
