Beautiful Sock Yarn & Wool for Your Next Project
A photo story of the Norwegian Star Hat Version 2. The only changes in this version are in the striping sequence, and this was due to the quantity of the yarn I had in these colours.
The original post for the Norwegian Star Hat goes into detail about the pattern.
