Conrós

Introducing the beautifully crafted conrós hat, a stunning top-down slouchy beret style adorned with an intricate lace rose pattern at the crown. The term "conrós" translates to dog rose or wild rose in Irish (Gaeilge), perfectly capturing the essence of this elegant design. This enchanting hat features yarn over increases and purl rows that create the lovely rose shape, making it not only a stylish accessory but also a unique knitting project for enthusiasts at any skill level. Each section of the hat is divided into five segments, with each segment showcasing a central delicate lace rosebud pattern that beautifully complements the crown.

The self-striping effect of the yarn produces a captivating sunset appearance, adding an extra layer of charm. With a slouchy fit, this hat is designed to comfortably accommodate any large child or adult head, making it a versatile piece for everyone. Knit using Drops Big Delight yarn on 5.5 mm needles, this project requires less than one skein of yarn, making it both budget-friendly and satisfying to complete. For the 2 x 2 ribbed brim, change to 5 mm needles for a snug fit that balances the overall design. Don’t forget to block the crown of the hat to enhance the intricate details of the pretty lace rose at the center of the yarn.
