Have you knit a basic hat already and feel ready to up your skills and try some colourwork?

Learn how to read a chart & practice stranded colourwork with 3 colours while knitting the Clayoquot Hat by Tin Can Knits. A fun quick knit project which makes a fantastic gift!

“Clayoquot Sound is home to many beasts of feather, fur and fin. Orca whales hunt salmon in the rich and bountiful waters, and put on a show for the tourists. Black bears shamble along the beaches and bald eagles soar overhead, keen eyes searching for their next meal”
