Aisling Hat

MY DESIGN IDEAS AND ADVICE

I love all my patterns to be as simple and smooth to read as possible.

I designed the Aisling Hat for lots of reasons – one, because I had always wanted a hat with this particular stitch technique! Two, because it matches the tank top I designed in the same series, and I love offering an accessory option for knitters who want to try out the technique or their chosen shades on a smaller project before committing to a bigger garment.

This hat is part of a collection of eight patterns that I launched specially for Yarndale 2017. Each one is named using an Irish word – Aisling (pronounced ASH-ling) means vision or dream, the wonderful things we imagine in our minds.

A cosy project to dream up your next knitting adventure!
