EMMA (EN)

Description

Emma is a lightweight hat knitted in fingering-weight yarn, ideal for keeping little ones’ heads warm between seasons or for fitting comfortably under a hood in winter. It is knitted from the crown down, a construction that makes it easy to adjust the depth to fit the little recipient’s head. Its lovely slipped-stitch pattern, simple and rhythmic, is paired with a broken rib brim for a stretchy, polished finish.

Quick and fun to knit, Emma is a small project suitable for beginners eager to discover new techniques. And since it uses very little yarn, it is also the perfect project for giving your leftover yarn a second life!
