Designed in Scotland

The yarn used was Sirdar Soiree, a soft, sparkly Aran yarn - a perfect yarn for hats to wear on snowy days
Difficult to capture the sparkle effect in photos
Stornoway is the main town on the island of Lewis, off the West coast of Scotland, where the beaches of fine, light sand glisten each summer in the sunshine - a beautiful place for a holiday!

Hats photographed:
Blue and grey - child size
Burgundy - adult
Turquoise - baby

And the last photo is of the hat knitted up in a different Aran yarn to show how it looks in a non sparkly yarn and with smaller faux fur bobble.
