Dowth Slouchy Beanie
Dowth is one of the three remarkable megalithic passage tombs, alongside Knowth and Newgrange, located in the UNESCO World Heritage site of Brú na Bóinne. Unfortunately, an unprofessional excavation carried out in 1847 has left Dowth in less than stellar condition, meaning that visitors are unable to enter this ancient tomb. However, the site remains a significant cultural landmark, attracting history and archaeology enthusiasts from all over.
The stunning sun carvings adorning the stone that marks one of Dowth’s entrances have inspired the design of this charming slouchy beanie. Using knitting techniques such as knit and purl stitches, this pattern captures the sun motif beautifully, making it the centerpiece of the hat. This beanie is perfect for showcasing your knitting skills while also keeping you warm and stylish.
This captivating pattern is part of the Malabrigo 2023 Quickies collection, designed for knitters looking to create beautiful, quick projects. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner, you will find joy in crafting this unique piece that pays homage to the ancient artistry of Dowth.
