A Delicate Flower

PATTERN NOTES

A Delicate Flower is a stranded colorwork hat, knit seamlessly in the round from the bottom up.  

It’s also a subtle (or not so subtle) reminder that, in the words of Shakespeare, “though she be little she is fierce” (A Midsummer Night’s Dream). You are beautiful, and as strong as the very bones of the earth. You may feel delicate sometimes, but you are anything but!
