Is Heaven still above Hat

And so
Tell me all the things we know
Is heaven still above
(Slanted Floor, Morten Harket & Ole Sverre)

“Is Heaven still above?” is a line from one of my
favorite songs, Slanted Floor by Morten Harket,
and it’s a question I sometimes ask myself these
days with all that is going on in the world.
Is Heaven still above Hat features pretty cables on
a purl background. It comes in three sizes and
offers two crown options per size so you always
get a nice looking crown for your hat.
Many thanks to my tech editor Mary E Rose and
my test knitters bossanova, DeniseinIowa, Iowaknitter, MT-MOONCHASER and pjkaylor. Any remaining mistakes are mine.
