Flora's Cap Using Shibui Pebble and Silk Cloud
The Design
When Pam first saw Shibui Pebble and Silk Cloud together, she knew they’d be gorgeous for a Flora’s Cap.
The seed-stitch purl bumps highlight the flecks of Pebble’s tweedy texture as well as Silk Cloud’s amazingly lustrous color. The cap's texture also creates a pleasing weight and warmth. And did we mention how incredibly soft the fabric is? Swoon-inducing, for sure.
Combine all that with Flora’s simple and elegant shape and you’ve got a cap that goes with everything and spans the seasons beautifully.
