May Yndi become your new favourite hat? Not only does it have an exceptionally beautiful texture, but also a modern, timeless shape that makes it popular with adults and teenagers alike. It has been designed by Teti Lutsak for Cheeky Merino Joy in the colour Melange Pure - a yarn which makes it feel so soft that you won't want to take it off. The pattern includes a shorter and a longer version so you can decide how far you want to fold the hem. Whether you want a tighter fit in a beanie style or a more upright and pointed look - Yndi can easily be adjusted to your wishes.
Yndi is easy to knit but doesn't look like it - due to its sophisticated, unusual rib pattern. The design is ideal for beginners and for anyone who wants to try out an exciting ribbing technique. The hat starts with a long-tail cast-on and is knitted in the round from bottom to top. A classic 1x1 rib is combined with slipped stitches for the texture pattern. Simple decreases shape the crown of the hat.
The hat is available in three sizes: S [M, L] to fit head circumferences of 46-51 [51-56, 56-61] cm (18-20 [20-22, 22-24] in).
