DESIGNED FOR SHARING
Knit in a delightfully fluffy alpaca “blow yarn”, and featuring a bold stranded colour work motif, the Holloway Hat is both quick and fun to knit. For most head sizes, two balls will make two hats—choose a main colour and a contrast colour for the first hat, then reverse them for the second hat—fraternal hat twins! For larger heads, three balls will make a pair of identical hat twins. The yarn may be blown…but your budget won’t be!
