hat DANTE, knitting pattern in six sizes
Pipe bands and a rolled hem, knitting in different directions and great tweed yarn – that‘s the hat „Dante“! The colour range of the original yarn gives you the possibility to create colourful kids hats and more subtle adult hats alike. Well, my hubby likes colours a lot, as you can see – the red and blue combination was his choice ;-)
The hat is partly knitted flat, partly in the round.
Contains:
- Pattern for hats in six sizes, ranging from kid‘s to men‘s size, without earflaps.
- Instruction for decently sized ear flaps for all sizes.
- Useful tipps how to make a lining from upcycled T-shirts.
- Step-by-step instruction with pictures for piping, 3-needle bind-off and other more elaborate techniques you will need.

I love knitting! (There will be a longer version of my introduction soon, but for the time being, this sentence says it all, doesn't it?)
