Folk Hats
By Vicki Square
|
Hats are magical. In the twinkling of an eye, a hat can transport us to
another place or another state of mind. With 30 completely original patterns
for fun and functional hats, this globe-trotting collection presents clear
illustrations and step-by-step instructions for knitters of all skill levels.
History and folklore from each hat's country of origin accompany the knitting
projects. Included are felted cowboy hats, festive hats from Cameroon and Japan,
historic derbies from around Europe, a beaded cloche from Afghanistan, warm cossacks
from Russia, and darling baby bonnets from Nigeria and China. Each unique topper
is an item of style and of substance. The imaginative and versatile designs and a
range of yarns and techniques puts a new spin on the standard hat pattern and
reinterprets these folk classics for modern knitters.
