Here's my 2nd design!!!! Free on Ravelry too. It's a hat (just in case you didn't get that from the post title!).
I decided to give mosaic (or slip stitch knitting) a go as it's been on my Knitting Bucket List (doesn't everyone have one of those?) for ages. After a few horrendous attempts I came up with this and I'm pretty happy with it I have to say.
Let me know what you think.....
