Elfi

Introducing the Elfi Cabled Hat – a nostalgic piece reminiscent of the beautiful hats my grandmother used to hand-knit for me during my childhood. With enticing cables and a charming pom-pom, this hat brings a warm, vintage touch that is hard to resist, even as an adult. The name "Elfi" is a heartfelt tribute to my grandmother, capturing the essence of love and craftsmanship she poured into every stitch.

This elegant cabled hat is designed to perfectly fit the average woman's head. Crafted with attention to detail, it utilizes almost exactly three skeins of high-quality Drops Lima yarn (including the playful pom-pom), making it a great project for those who love to knit. If you're someone who enjoys knitting larger swatches, it's advisable to keep an extra skein on hand to ensure you have enough yarn to complete your beautiful creation.

The Elfi Cabled Hat is knitted flat, and later, the seams are crocheted together using a slipped stitch technique, giving it a polished and professional finish. For those who prefer a seamless experience, you can easily adapt the pattern to knit in the round. Feel free to explore your preferred joining techniques, whether using traditional methods or modern alternatives that suit your knitting style.
