Gloria Tulip Hat available

The pattern for my Gloria Tulip Hat is now available.
It uses a Tulip Stitch lace pattern from the Creative Knitting stitch dictionary around the bottom, and the crown is in reverse stocking stitch.

I was very pleased to read that an Australian Aboriginal Artist, Gloria Petyarre, has had a scarf design selected and used by the acclaimed French company, Hermes.
Well done Gloria. I thought I’d name my hat pattern in her honour.

A light weight, mid-season hat knitted in the round. The stitch pattern comes from volume three
of a 1980’s English knitting series called Creative Knitting. No details of the publisher are available in this edition. The stitch count will vary from round to round of the Tulip Stitch pattern, as extra stitches are added, then removed in subsequent rounds.
