Miinus-20-kübar / -20C wide brimmed hat

Minu vanaema on juba nii väärikas vanuses (80+), et talle meeldivad kübarad (tegelikult on alati meeldinud, aga nüüd kohe sobib igaks päevaks laiaservaline peakate). Talviti on muiudugi jamps, sest ei pane ju ometigi -20kraadis laiaäärelist, mis kõrvad nelja tuule hooleks jätab. Aga nüüd saab kübaraga käia. Selleks tuli mul küll nuputada ja ise vardaid välgutada, aga talvekübara mu vanaema sai.

Rohkem pilte näeb siit.
Oluline teave:
Varras 5,5 mm ja 4,5 mm
Lõng: Argentiina käsitsikedratud naturaalpruun umbes 40 grammi ja naturaalvalge Apuulia meriino ca 50 grammi
Muster: peast


Hat with a wide brim this time, I used the white merino wool from Puglia I made the Inspiration aka first BSJ with, and leftover yarn from mitts. Designing this I had a very clear idea of what I wanted - a strong, big folding brim, two earthly colors and something my lovely grandmother in her 80+ years could wear daily yet provide a lady-like feel, something that she could wear with -20 degrees C and still have wide brim!

Yarn: Argentinian handspun (natural brown, about 40 grams) and natural white merino wool from Puglia (about 50grams)
Pattern: mine

If you are interested knitting this type of a hat, leave me a note and I'll write the pattern down.
