GENERAL INFORMATION

Rich colours, chunky stitches and a beautifully woven look – the Cherga Hat takes its inspiration from traditional colourful textiles. The marled strands of Stenli Folklor create an expressive texture that gives each hat its own character.

The hat is worked from the bottom up in the round, with gradual decreases shaping a soft, rounded crown.

The Tweed Pattern combines knit, purl and slipped stitches with yarn overs passed over the stitches just worked. A two-round repeat creates a textured fabric reminiscent of weaving. The colourful strands of Folklore enhance this effect without the need to switch between separate yarns.

The pattern includes instructions for the Estonian cast-on, the stitch pattern and crown shaping for all three sizes.
