love this hat
Is the Jason’s cashmere hat knitted mixing 2 colours (from 2 skeins of wool) together?
Hi Lesley! As per information on the pattern’s direct site, the designer has used just one type of yarn per beanie, always 2 skeins of Sweet Fiber Yarns Cashmere Aran (91m / 100y per 50g skein).
Why oh why can I not get this pattern
Hi Shirley, all patterns are linked under the picture. If you are getting issue accessing the designer’s website, please let us know which pattern exactly it is about and we will investigate.
