MY DESIGN IDEAS AND ADVICE
I designed this hat based on one from my own childhood – a cabled hat my mother knitted for me when I was a baby. There are photos of me wearing it… and then a few years later, my younger sister wearing the very same hat.
After creating the baby version, I realised I wanted one too! So I designed the Clapham Hat – the adult version of the Clapdale. A cosy cable hat for every member of the family.
