When I asked one of my best friends (“kindred spirits”) to describe her ideal hat, she envisioned this super soft, lightweight, slouchy hat with a Celtic-inspired cable pattern. I created it for her, and loved it so much that I knit up a matching one for myself.
Recently, when another best friend was in need of a hat, I made this one for her as well.

About the Designer: Julie Linsenmeyer
About the Designer: Julie LinsenmeyerI developed my knitting skills over several years of chronic illness. While stuck in bed, the challenge of learning new techniques and creating things of beauty was one of my greatest sources of joy. Now that I’m healing, I take delight in many more things, such as cooking, kayaking, swimming, walks in the woods, and learning many more techniques for creating beautiful accessories (you can check out my eco printed silk scarves, jewelry, and other creations at https://www.etsy.com/shop/LeafandBerry). But knitting will always hold a special place in my heart.
