Elsica – knitting pattern

$10.00

An elegant beret, using a combination of slipped stitches, simple twists and bias techniques to create its unique shape. Knit stitches starting at the brim travel through the Hat, spiralling towards the crown. This Hat is knit in the round, from the brim to the crown.

 

Hat Description

Elsica is a beret with textured lines. The lines are set evenly around the Hat and travel straight up through the brim. On the body, they travel diagonally, curving around the Hat before swirling to a single centre point on the crown.
