Roisinis

Discover the beauty of Roisinis, a reversible knitting hat inspired by the stunning deserted village of Eriskay on the Scottish island of the same name. This picturesque location boasts ruined houses, dramatic weather patterns, breathtaking beaches, and even curious sheep. During my holiday there, I crafted this unique hat, and it’s designed to be effortlessly versatile, perfect for adapting to the island’s ever-changing climatic conditions.

The Roisinis reversible hat features a clever and straightforward construction technique: it’s knit as one long tube using a provisional cast-on. Afterward, the tube is folded and twisted before being seamlessly joined at the ribbing. This innovative twist not only creates an elegant spiral crown that enhances its style, but it also allows the hat to be opened up and worn as a cozy cowl, giving you two functional accessories in one.
