Hat season has begun - enjoy 20% off all hat patterns!

Arctika is a classic ribbed hat featuring a folded brim in a textured rib pattern. The crown shaping creates a snowflake-inspired detail. The hat is knit from the brim up to the crown. So pretty, so easy! Knit and enjoy!

The pattern is written for two yarn weights and includes both written instructions and photo tutorials for the textured ribbing.

Arctika on päätä myötäilevä joustinneulepipo, jonka leveä alakäänne muodostuu kuviojoustinneuleesta. Päälaen kavennukset muodostavat kuvion, joka muistuttaa jääkidettä. Pipo neulotaan alareunasta päälakea kohti. Ohje on kahdelle eri lankavahvuudelle.

Ohje sopii neulojalle, joka hallitsee seuraavat perustaidot:
-oikean ja nurjan silmukan neulominen
-kavennus 2 o yhteen, yhdistetty kavennus ja ssk-kavennus
(-vaihtoehtoisesti italialainen aloitus)
