In the spring of 2008 some of my hat patterns were published in Mütsiraamat and now I’ve decided to translate them into English.

First pattern – Up-and-down hat – is now ready for you.

Up-and-down hat got its name from the fact that its sides are crocheted in an unconventional way – not in rounds, but back and forth.

The hat is crocheted from a fine cotton yarn, originally from Coats Eldorado with hook 2 mm, but the yarn is easily substitutable. Making this hat includes a little bit sewing, but really only a little bit :) English version of this hat includes complete written instructions (UK terms) as well as charts. The hat pattern is for three sizes – to fit head circumference 44/48/52 cm. You can trim the hat with ribbon, rosettes or leave it without trims.
