“SCANIA”
cloche hat by Woolly Hooligan designs

I appreciate all your support. Purchase of this pattern and any pattern for that matter, ensures I am (and other designers) able to create more beauties. Thank you !!!

Enjoy !!!
Inspiration:
What better than a Norwegian historical design flipped on its head…. literally…. it’s a very old historical pattern hooliganed by me and flipped upside down to create this magical funky effect.
Colours remind me of Sweden, thus the name. Honouring the Scandinavian flare.

Gauge:
20 st in 32 rows in 4 cm /4-inch blocked swatch in stranded colour work pattern or
19 st in 32 rows in 4 cm/4-inch blocked swatch in plain stockinette stitch

Needles: size 7 US (4.5 mm) circulars and same size dpns for crown decreases.

Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in Bobby Blue and Frank Ochre 1 skein each

Sizes:

shown in size S/M

Notes about construction:
Knitted on same size needles throughout, the effect of brim is done by folding the brim under and attaching to cast on edge. This stiffens the fabric and makes it flare out, gauge in plain stockinette is slightly larger (as stranded colour work is usually a bit tighter)
Knitted bottom up.

Skills required:
Perfect for beginner in fair isle
Knit, colorwork, colorwork chart reading, ssk, double brim.
