Ilma hat
Introducing the Ilma Hat Pattern: A Cozy Knitting Project from Villavyyhti's Great Finnish Yarn Club Autumn 2013
The Ilma hat is a delightful knitting project that combines style and comfort. This top-down design begins with a short i-cord, ensuring a snug fit right from the start. Knitted in the incredibly soft and squishy Ilmarinen yarn from Knitlob’s Lair, this hat is perfect for chilly autumn and winter days.
Featuring stripes that are creatively knitted in various directions, the Ilma hat is not just functional; it’s a fashion statement that embraces texture and visual interest. The brim incorporates a ribbed lining, providing additional warmth and a cozy feel, making it an essential accessory for your winter wardrobe.
Crafted with versatility in mind, the Ilma hat can be knitted using the Magic Loop method, or you can opt for double-pointed needles (dpns) or two circular needles, depending on your personal preference. This flexibility makes it a great project for knitters of all skill levels.
Don’t forget, the Ilma hat has a lovely counterpart — the Ilma mitten. Together, these two pieces create a charming set. Using only two skeins (one of each color) is sufficient to complete both the hat and the mittens. You might even have enough yarn left over to whip up a stylish headband!
