Tulips, grafic patterns and and exciting colours make a hat that you will love not only for one cold season! The out-of-the-ordinary design is fun to knit and brings just the right amount of colour to your winter wardrobe. Why not try other colour combinations? Just have a look in your leftover stash – I bet all the colours you love are already there!
