Laitís Hat
……………………………………….
This is an updated and expanded version of the original (2017) pattern. Updates have been sent automatically to all who purchased the original.
……………………………………….
Inspired by the long, slanted shadows of Ireland’s waning winter days, the Laitís Hat is the accessory-companion to its namesake pullover.
Knit it as a slouchy beanie or a stylish beret; the pattern includes instructions for both styles.
Whichever version you prefer, the Laitís Hat is a dramatic, sculptural headpiece that is quick and simple to make even for fledgling cable knitters.
