We now offer handy kits of this pattern. All kits include enough yarn to make this hat, along with a limited edition button badge and a fab project bag to keep it all safe. Happy knitting!
The Melisma Hat is one part of the most stunning hat and scarf set by Amy Van De Laar. We can’t think of anything more lovely to wrap ourselves up with this autumn-winter. The pattern is available from Amy, here.
If you would like to make the set, we have Melisma Scarf kits too.
The Melisma Hat’s elegant cables twirl and flow up from the ribbed brim like lines of a melody and, with only a handful of cable crosses on alternating rounds, it makes for a quick and satisfying knit.
