Helike

Introducing the Helike Lace Toque—an engaging and versatile reversible knit hat that brings a vibrant pop of color to your winter wardrobe. This stylish toque features a turned brim that allows you to showcase a small amount of brightly colored yarn, giving you the creative freedom to decide just how much of that eye-catching hue to display. Named after one of Jupiter's moons, which is also linked to a nymph that nurtured Zeus in his infancy, this hat blends mythology with modern knitting flair.

The Helike hat is crafted from the bottom up in a seamless round, starting with a convenient provisional cast on. The design begins with the brightly colored inner portion of the brim for an unexpected burst of color, followed by the primary color section that completes the hat's elegant look. One of the unique features of the Helike design is the way the turned brim is attached—simply knit both sides of the brim together, eliminating the need for any sewing (a helpful photo tutorial is included to guide you through this step). To cater to a variety of knitters, both written and charted instructions for the intricate lace pattern and decrease sections are provided, making this pattern accessible for all skill levels.
