Maraschino Cherry Hat
Maraschino Cherry is delicate, and totally addictive. And I love how different these textured little rectangles look, depending on the angle from which you see them. I’ve added detail along the brim and worked shaping that allows the pattern to continue deep into the crown on this design. Colorwork is achieved by slipping stitches, and you only need to work with one color on each round.
It’s a great way to use up leftovers, a fantastic excuse to pair colors, and it’s a quick, satisfying little hat to just whip up! The design is easily modified for depth or width, and notes are included in the pattern on how to do so.
