Larissa's Hat

Introducing Larissa’s Hat, a stunning knitting pattern inspired by the luxurious fur hat worn by the iconic character Lara from the tragic love story, Dr. Zhivago. When I first encountered the exquisite Arequipa Fur yarn, my instinct was to feel its incredible softness against my skin. It sparked my imagination for a hat that embodies the elegance and warmth of the gorgeous hats worn by Larissa during the frigid Russian winters. Although she is affectionately known as Lara in the film, her proper name is Larissa, and until I immerse myself in the movie, I prefer to refer to her by her true name.

Unlike the complex and heart-wrenching romance portrayed between Larissa and Dr. Zhivago, the construction of Larissa’s Hat is refreshingly straightforward, resulting in a stylish and cozy accessory that you will love to wear. This versatile hat not only keeps you warm but also elevates your winter wardrobe with its chic design. For the ultimate winter ensemble, be sure to pair Larissa’s Hat with the Lady’s Knight Mitts. Together, these two patterns create a cohesive look that is both practical and fashionable. Whether you’re heading out for a winter stroll or enjoying a night out, Larissa's Hat and Lady's Knight Mitts will ensure you stay comfortably chic throughout the season. Perfect for knitters of all skill levels, this pattern invites you to embrace the art of knitting while celebrating the beauty of a classic love story.
