Shapka is a modern ribbed hat that adds
a bit of effortless style to any outfit. Its
shape offers structure, while a fluffy
yarn softens the look. This hat is great
for gift knitting and a sweet palate
cleanser project.

Shapka is knitted in 2×2 rib, in the round,
seamlessly. Beginning at the brim, the relaxing
rib is worked until the crown shaping. A series of
decreases cinch towards the tip of the hat quickly
and you’ll have a new hat in no time.
