Balade Collection

🇬🇧 The Balade collection includes a hat and a cowl each available in four sizes.

This bottom-up hat is worked in the round. The brim and body of the hat is worked from the right side thanks to a well-placed short row. The twisted and crossed stitch pattern brings texture and vortex effect to the hat.
