Elvira Hat, knitting pattern

Knitting pattern for Elvira Hat with cable pattern

We have designed this pretty hat with beautiful cable pattern and double rib edge, to can keep your ears warm. We have worked the hat in our own soft merino wool; Önling No 2, but can also be knitted in Önling No 1 or Önling No 3, which will give a slightly denser result.

We have been inspired by the beautiful techniques of the Aran sweaters and have made 2 patterns with cable twists. One has a nice cable with several different sizes of cables, and the other is a 'fake twist', which is knitted without a needle. The hat can be knitted in many variants and is the perfect gift.

The pattern was a part of Önling Advent Calendar 2020
