Chestnut hat
Also known as Kastaniehue
The idea for this hat emerged one day when I was
collecting chestnuts by our large chestnut tree.
There were a lot of spiked chestnut shells,
which inspired me – it turned into a hat with spikes on.
The hat is worked on circular needles and finished in
a crown with 4 peaks.
The decorative spikes are made by wool tufts and the hat is felted in the washing machine.

Kastaniehue
Ideén til denne hue fik jeg en dag, da jeg samlede kastanier ved vores store kastanietræ.
Der lå en masse piggede skaller, som inspirerede mig
– det blev til en hue med uldpigge på.
Huen strikkes på rundpind og aflukkes så der fremkommer
4 spidser på huens top.
Huen pyntes med små totter af garn og derefter skal den filtes i vaskemaskinen.
Mål:
Opskriften har 7 størrelser fra hovedmål 33cm til 55cm.
Garn:
Spindrift, 100% ren Shetlandsk uld fra Jamieson’s of Shetland.
Farver:
50g farve 259 Leprechaun (LE) - til hue.
25g farve 812 Prairie (PR) - til uldpigge.
Vejledende pinde:
40cm rundpind 3mm.
strømpepinde 3mm til de mindste størrelser og til aflukning af huen.
Hæklenål til uldpigge.
Strikkefasthed:
10x10cm = 24m og 38p glatstrik på rundpind 3mm.
