Rachis - PDF knitting pattern

Rachis was born with hand-dyed yarn in mind. Whether it be an opinionated variegated yarn or a subdued semi-solid, the yarn comes to life as the stitches travel around this Hat.

Photographic tutorials are included for all relevant techniques to help guide you through the process. The pattern is provided in  6 sizes, ensuring you can cover plenty of heads!
