Skelter – knitting pattern
$10.00
Whirling travelling-stitch columns and a perfect pom-pom conjure up the fun of the fair in this split-brim Hat that’s both snuggly and stylish. Worn low to cover the ears and hug the face, Skelter will be your favourite winter warmer.
Hat Description
Skelter is a vintage-style Hat. The garter stitch brim fits snugly over the forehead and covers the ears, and is split at the back and worn low. The body of the Hat features vertical travelling stitch columns that look like twisted rope. These columns repeat around the Hat’s circumference, tapering as they reach and converge at the Hat’s crown. The Hat is topped with an optional pompom.
