Baby Cocktails Maraschino Cherry is a fabulous hat, enticing and an addictive knit. The design is easily modified for depth or width, as it looks excellent both fitted or with a little slouch, so feel free to adjust as desired. Maraschino Cherry is a perfect excuse to pair colors, and it’s a quick, enjoyable little hat to whip up! Neighborhood Fiber Co. is known for creating vibrant hand-dyed colorways on yarn bases that knitters and crocheters love, and their Organic Studio DK is a perfect example. The colorwork pattern is charted and written out.
