Llariega

Llariega is a stranded colourwork hat. It’s knitted in the round, starting at the brim and binding off at the crown. It’s a simple pattern that is easy to memorise and a good introduction to this technique. The pattern includes two versions of the hat and two sizes and also instructions to make a matching cowl.
