For fans of the newly formed NHL hockey team, the
Seattle Kraken, or for any lovers of Norse mythology or
mythical sea creatures. This is a hat inspired by rough
seas with a crown of waving tentacles. The red “eyes”
have been added using duplicate stitches at the end to
avoid very long carries and to allow the knitter to decide
just how many pairs they would like to have. Two
different versions allow for a mariners watch cap style or
a traditional Shetland brim.
