This Hat is named for Echo, a nymph from Greek legend cursed to speak the last words said to her. Echo’s colourwork mirrors and reflects, in conversation with itself.
Each Hat in the Imperceptions collection is knitted bottom-up and in the round. The ideal yarn for these Hats is 4-ply or light sportweight, in a multi-plied fibre with some natural give, such as merino. The illusions look their best in two high-contrast colours.
The patterns in Imperceptions are provided in both written and charted format, and are graded through gauge. Two sizes are included in each pattern.
