Banksia – knitting pattern

$10.00

Inspired by Victorian caps, the lace droplet pattern circles around the Hat, creating an interesting concentric effect, with the shaping cleverly incorporated into the pattern.

 

Hat Description

Banksia is a slouchy beret worked from the bottom up. It starts with a twisted rib brim, then increases outwards. The body features eyelets, which creates a minimally textured look to the Hat. The eyelets are worked in pairs and the stitch pattern is staggered vertically. The crown is worked in pattern and features gentle decreases for a flat crown.
