I first fell in love with this hat on a trip to the Knitting and Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace in London back in October 2019.  Rowan had a stall at the show and were selling balls of Rowan Sultano Fine yarn as a sort of kit combined with the pattern. The pattern itself is a free download so you really only pay for the yarn itself which, since it’s made up of a silk, mohair and cashmere combination, is a little on the spendy side but once you have a feel of that stuff you’ll absolutely know why it’s so pricey.  I didn’t buy the yarn that day though…
