The names chosen for these appealing hats are famous castles. All the hats are constructed by knitting a flat strip on two needles, back and forth, slightly longer than the circumference of the wearer’s head, then joined. The crown is made by picking up stitches around the top edge of the brim tube, then knitted in the round, decreasing to form a flat “tam-like” top.

These patterns are for the intermediate knitter.
