This is an intriguing design using Scandinavian stranded knitting techniques, corrugated rib, and optional fanciful hat toppers that make every hat as unique and magical as the winter night sky and the creator. Knitters should be able to cast on, knit, and purl easily. The pattern cost of $5 will be paid to the instructor at the beginning of class. Materials will cost an additional $15-25 for students purchasing yarn and needles from instructor. Youth ages 12+ are welcome to participate with an adult.
