New-York bucket hat – Knitting pattern
CHF 3.50
The New York bucket hat is knitted from top to bottom and in the round. The base of the hat is formed by a series of increases until the desired circumference is reached. The fold is then formed by joining two rows together. The body of the hat is knitted in stockinette until it reaches the desired height. The brim is knitted in stockinette and lined.
The originality of the bucket hat is that it can be personalised as you wish, by embroidering with your leftover wool. For a soft look, opt for mohair, baby suri or other long-haired yarns.
The hat’s construction means you can make a hat tailored to your head size.
Size

The pattern allows you to knit the bob according to any head circumference. It will be necessary to calculate the number of stitches to be obtained at the end of the hat crown increases.
