• Product description

  Architectural lines and innovative construction elevate an aviator cap you can knit with a single skein of Shelter. Lolo is worked sideways from a provisional cast-on; crown shaping is achieved with short rows while increases and decreases form a sinuous brim that covers the ears. Lines of slipped stitches flow across the garter background to accentuate the shaping and create sculptural shifts in texture. This unisex hat can be knit in multiple sizes by changing needle size and gauge; directions are given for 18” and 20” circumferences. Block the finished cap over a steep-sided bowl or other head-shaped form to correct excessive angularity.

  Designer: Jared Flood

  Collection: Fall 2015

  CONSTRUCTION

  • The hat begins with a Crocheted Provisional Cast On at center back, and is worked from side to side with Short Rows: Wrap & Turn Method, in a garter and slipped stitch pattern to highlight shaping. The earflaps are integrated through increases and decreases. The end of the hat is joined to the beginning with Joinery Bind Off. Stitches are picked up around the short crown edge of hat, and a few rounds are worked circularly to close the crown of the hat.
