Djævlehue with short rows

Introducing a charming twist on the classic Danish djævlehue, also known as the “devil’s cap.” This delightful knitting pattern features the innovative use of wrap-and-turn short rows for effortless crown shaping, eliminating the need for any seaming. As an added touch of elegance, a single row of delicate eyelets embellishes the bottom edge of the hat, creating a beautiful lace detail that perfectly frames your little one's face.

This enchanting hat is crafted sideways, starting from the center back, while strategically increasing and decreasing to achieve the distinctive shape of the traditional djævlehue edge.

For those seeking a more secure fit, optional ties can be incorporated, ensuring that the hat remains snugly in place as your child plays and explores. This pattern combines the best of style and functionality, making it a must-have for any little wardrobe.
