ELBBRÜCKEN CAP
„ONE HAT A DAY“
The Elbbrücken Cap is the ideal companion for the
Elbbrücken Pullover. It features the characteristic
horizontal ribbing of the sweater’s turtleneck for a
snug fit as well as the folded hem that gives it that
rolled brim vibe.
It does not take a lot of yarn so once you’ve made
the Elbbrücken Pullover, you’re likely to have enough
leftovers for this matching cap.
I’m not much of a hat person myself. When I do
wear one, I usually roll it up all the way to keep my
ears free. So, it was high time I designed a headgear
that suits me just right, without much styling or
draping.
For me, it’s the perfect accessory all day long —
whether I’m out and about or chilling indoors.
And especially during the warmer seasons when
knitwear isn’t typically on the menu, this cap is a
welcome addition to my wardrobe.
