Hemisphere
Introducing the Hemisphere hat, a stunning two-color, double-knit design that turns the wearer’s head into a beautifully crafted globe of the Earth. This unique pattern draws inspiration from the art of cartography, ignited by my husband’s passion for maps and geography. Hemisphere is seamlessly worked in the round from the brim up, utilizing expertly charted map projections to achieve both the stunning globe effect and the necessary head shaping for the perfect fit.
This meticulously designed knitting pattern is intended to be crafted using stunning, complementing colorways of Malabrigo Twist yarn. Choose your personal colors to either highlight or subtly enhance the globe effect, making each hat a unique piece of wearable art. Its double-knit construction not only provides an extra warm layer with two Aran-weight layers but also ensures the hat is stretchy and incredibly versatile, making it subversively reversible for two different looks in one!
