Lacecap Bloom

This unique knitting pattern is FREE until the end of Mother's Day, Sunday, May 8, 2022!

Craft a quick, delicate hat inspired by the stunning lacecap hydrangea flower. The thoughtful design features blossoms elegantly intertwined around the brim, culminating in a gentle swirl of stems at the crown, making it a beautiful accessory for any spring outing.

This lovely knitted cap works exceptionally well with sport or fingering weight yarn, whether in soft wool or breathable cotton. The choice of yarn is important; opting for a yarn with more body will enhance the stitch definition, showcasing your intricate work beautifully.

The hat is designed to be fitted, with negative ease measuring between 2.5-5 cm (approximately 1-2 inches). You can customize the sizing by adjusting the number of stitches in the ribbed border and the rounds worked for the body. This flexibility allows you to create a hat that perfectly suits the person's head it adorns!

The pattern has been thoughtfully crafted to be knit from the bottom-up using circular needles, with the finishing touch applied using double-pointed needles. For a seamless and polished look, the band is cast on using the tubular cast-on method. The intricate lace, cables, and rib design repeat are presented both in charted and written formats, catering to all types of knitters. Patterned rounds (odd) gracefully alternate with simple rounds (even), offering a balance of challenge and relaxation for those who appreciate textured knitting!

Whether you're knitting this exquisite hat for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this pattern brings together elegance and enjoyment, making it a delightful project to take on during the vibrant spring season. Don't miss out on this opportunity to create a stunning accessory while honing your knitting skills!
