Product Description
I got the inspiration for this hat when I read about the ewe Stubbis in a post from @bredsjöblå.
Bredsjöblå is a cheese-producing sheep farm located in Bergslagen, Sweden. The cheeses are phenomenally good, the farm is eco friendly and they are passionate about their animal welfare.
Of course, she deserves to have a hat named after her. This hat is knitted in the round with two strands of yarn held together. Pattern contains both written instructions and easy to follow chart.
