Virva Hat

Introducing the Virva Hat pattern, originally published in Laine Issue 3 during Autumn 2017, now available for your knitting pleasure! This listing features the exquisite Virva Hat design, a perfect accessory for chilly days. For those interested, the matching fingerless mitts are also available separately on LoveKnitting, allowing you to create a complete set.

The Virva Hat begins with an intricate brim crafted in twisted ribbing, a stylish and comfortable start. The design then evolves into an enchanting display of flower stems and buds, gracefully encased within a dome-like structure, reminiscent of flowers flourishing within a protective greenhouse or terrarium. To lend a playful touch to this design, the hat is topped off with a charming pom pom that completes the look beautifully.

Photography by Laine Magazine beautifully captures the essence of the Virva Hat, while illustrations by the talented Fiona Alice add a delightful artistic flair. This pattern not only showcases elaborate technique but also serves as a joyful project to add to your knitting repertoire.

Important note: One skein of yarn will be sufficient to create the complete hat and fingerless mitts set, making it an economical and satisfying choice for knitters. However, it's advisable to reserve some leftover yarn for crafting the pom pom, ensuring that your hat is finished off perfectly.

For the best fit, the Virva Hat is designed to be worn with 4.5 - 5.5 inches / 11 - 14 cm of negative ease. This snug fit ensures that not only does the hat stay securely in place, but it also provides warmth and comfort during those brisk autumn days.
