Kallen

$7.00

The Kallen Hat, where timeless Irish charm meets modern comfort. Named after its sleek design, “Kallen” captures the essence of sophistication with its slim, delicately crafted baby cables. From the brim to the crown, these elegant details add depth and texture, creating a unique aesthetic that’s both classic and contemporary. Perfect for chilly days or stylish outings, this hat blends tradition with versatility, ensuring warmth without sacrificing style. Embrace the allure of Irish heritage while staying snug and chic – Kallen is more than just an accessory; it’s a statement of refined elegance.

Worked from the bottom up, this versatile hat pattern allows you to craft a perfectly fitting hat seamlessly in the round. The construction involves starting with the brim, progressing to the body, and culminating with shaping the crown. As you approach the final stages of the crown, you’ll need to switch from using 16” / 40 cm circular needles to either the magic loop method or double-pointed needles, depending on your preference for tackling smaller circumferences.

A notable feature of this hat pattern is its versatility in accommodating different sizes. For the pattern motif and crown, there are both written directions and charts available. After casting on, you’ll work independently with your preferred directions.
