Tippi toppi hat
Introducing the Tippi Topp Hat, a stylish and casual accessory that seamlessly blends comfort and elegance. This cozy hat is expertly crafted in the round, starting from the brim and culminating at the top. Utilizing a luxurious inner layer made from a thin and soft lace weight yarn, the Tippi Topp Hat boasts a sumptuous look while offering the versatility to wear it inside out for a unique style twist.
The construction of the hat begins with an Italian cast-on technique for the brim, ensuring a secure and neat edge. Following this, a delicate band of intricate lace adds the perfect touch of interest and sophistication, making it not just a practical piece, but a statement accessory as well.
For the original version of the Tippi Topp Hat, we recommend using the following luxurious yarns:
- 1 skein of Nature’s Luxury ON STAGE - SHORT STORIES, composed of 50% wool, 30% silk, and 20% camel, providing a delightful warmth and sheen. This yarn features 219 yards (200 m) per 100g skein and is shown in the beautiful colorway Murmur of Bees.
- 1 skein of Nature’s Luxury LA RêVEUSE, which is a sumptuous blend of 80% cashmere and 20% silk. This exquisitely soft yarn measures 205 yards (187 m) per 25g skein and is displayed in the stunning color Fleur de Dijon.
To achieve the best results, attention to gauge is crucial:
