Castiel - PDF knitting pattern

Is Castiel casually elegant or elegantly casual? One thing is for sure - this Hat has its feet firmly planted on the ground, despite the lacy columns. It is named after the Angel of Thursday - which probably makes it an everyday Hat that is a bit special!

Castiel is worked bottom up in the round and is available in four sizes.

Available as a single pattern or as part of the Hatopia collection.
