Introducing a hat that elevates Latvian Braids to a whole new level! This exquisite design features one long spiral of intricate braids coiling beautifully around to create the main body of the hat, while a cozy folded brim adds extra warmth and comfort. Uniquely, all the decreases are seamlessly worked into the braid pattern, enhancing both the aesthetic and structural integrity of this delightful accessory. Plus, the best part? This hat is reversible! You can easily switch up your look by revealing a different color combination, making it the perfect addition to your winter wardrobe.
Colorful Variety and Yarn Combination Explore a multitude of color options with this pattern! The design allows for an exciting blend of yarns, such as a luxurious Silk/Mohair blend held alongside the main yarn. Consider using two strands of Silk/Mohair combined with Alpaca for a colorful twist. You can customize the shades for the brim versus the main body of the hat or even the interior versus the exterior, creating a truly unique piece that reflects your personal style.
Gauge Information For optimal results, please adhere to the following gauge: 26 stitches and 40 rows over 4” / 10 cm using 2.5 mm / US 1.5 needles in a 2x2 rib stitch. Additionally, for the Latvian Braid technique, aim for 20 stitches and 20 bands over 4” / 10 cm with 3 mm / US 2.5 needles. The stitch count refers to the horizontal stitches formed by the Latvian Braid, while the bands represent the rounds of horizontal stitches stacked upon one another.
To craft your beautiful hat, we recommend using the original sample materials: Garnstudio Drops Alpaca (Shade 517 Medium Gray) and Debbie Bliss Angel Prints (Shade 15812 Monet). This combination not only ensures a stunning visual effect but also delivers an incredibly soft and warm finish.
