003 Alhambra Hat

The Alhambra Hat’s motif is inspired by the curls and diamonds on the archways and walls of The Alhambra Palace in Spain. I was doing research for an illustration and came across some books from when I visited Spain and The Alhambra. The Alhambra Hat is a beanie that begins with a ribbed brim. Choose your own adventure: create a 4”/ 10cm ribbed brim turned up once halfway or a 6”/ 15cm brim that’s folded double. After the ribbed brim is complete, a fair-isle motif covers the main part of the hat decreasing to a point at the top of the hat. This project is suitable for the adventurous fair-isle beginner.

(The crown is intriguing. This hat needs to be made for someone shorter than you so you can see your amazing, and really not that difficult, handiwork yourself--ed.)
