Tesla Slept Here Hat

For years, I’ve been obsessively capturing images of hotel carpets, drawn to their unique and intricate patterns that you won't find anywhere else. These vibrant designs have inspired me to create stunning colorwork knitting patterns based on them. Recently, I partnered with Elemental Fiber Works, an innovative yarn company that focuses on science themes, to bring my vision to life. One particular pattern that caught my eye is from the iconic New Yorker Hotel in New York City, where the legendary scientist Nikola Tesla spent his final days, residing in rooms on the 33rd floor. If you'd like to explore some of the more complex aspects of Tesla's legacy, be sure to check out Episode 070 of the Kino Knits podcast.

This beautifully crafted hat is designed to pair perfectly with the Tesla Slept Here Cowl, resulting in a cohesive and stylish set. By simply switching the main color of the yarn, you can create matching accessories with just two skeins (please note that larger hat sizes may require pairing with the smaller-sized cowl for optimal fit). Embrace this unique opportunity to blend art and science in your knitting project while paying homage to a historical figure. Dive into this charming pattern today and bring the essence of Tesla's time at the New Yorker Hotel into your knitting collection! Happy crafting!
