RYCKEMER is an unisex hat to keep your ears warm :) It is insprired (and named after) a former sailor from the book ‘Zur See’ (At sea) by Dörte Hansen

RYCKMER is worked seamlessly from the brim to the top. First you work the brim lining with one thread of yarn. Then you continue to work the body with both yarns held together in 2x2 rib and then shape the crown with decreases.
