This hat is inspired in part by an Irish fisherman’s sweater made by my grandmother. Since visiting Dublin in 2013, I’ve been in love with this beautiful city. This would be the perfect hat for Winter days spent by the ocean, wandering through rainy city streets, or of course, heading to the pub to share a pint with some friends. I originally designed this hat for my dear friend Mone (it’s German, so pronounce the “e”), who was kind enough to model the hat for the pattern photos. I love intricate cable and eyelet patterns, but I am also a huge fan of simple stitch patterns like garter, or ribbing. This hat incorporates both into a fun and wearable design.
