Bois D'Or

Introducing our exquisite knitted hat, inspired by the enchanting golden woods of Tolkien’s Lothlorien and the intricate floral motifs of the Art Nouveau movement from the early 20th century. This stunning design merges the beauty of nature with artistic flair, featuring twisted trees and golden leaves that capture the imagination. The hat showcases a blend of cables and stranded colorwork, highlighting the elegant twining trunks and branches. The leaves are shaped using careful increases and decreases, resulting in smooth, flowing lines that add depth and charm to this unique accessory.

Available in one versatile size, this hat is designed to comfortably fit head circumferences of approximately 20”– 22” (53–55 cm). The final dimensions of the hat measure 19” (48 cm) wide and 8.5” (22 cm) tall, ensuring a snug fit with 1–3” (2.5–8 cm) of negative ease for added comfort.

To create this extraordinary piece, you'll need one skein of Anzula For Better or Worsted yarn in two stunning colors: Teal (Main Color - MC) and Root Beer (Contrast Color - CC). Each skein offers 200 yards (114 g) of luxurious yarn, composed of 80% Merino wool, 10% Cashmere, and 10% Nylon. Please note that the sample used approximately 100 yards of each color to achieve its beautiful finish.

For optimal results, ensure you meet the gauge of 22 stitches x 33 rows in a 4” (10 cm) square of stranded knitting. Keep in mind that each repeat of the chart is approximately 4” (10 cm) in width, which will help guide your progress as you create your very own masterpiece.
