Karlchen
- top-down cap
Do you know the feeling of
starting a cap from a ball of leftovers and running out of yarn before
the crown is finished? I do. As a result I designed “Karlchen” (German
for “Charlie”), a one ball cap knitted from the top downwards.
If you are running out of yarn
– just come to an end. Knit the ribbing and bind off. It doesn’t
really matter if the cap is an inch shorter – as long as you start at
the crown!
The pattern is suitable for
many different yarns; it explains the basic formula for a top - down
cap.
I published this pattern last
year in my German blog for free. Here is the translation.
You will get a basic formula to knit a top-down
hat with many yarns.
You should know how to cast
on, bind off, knit, purl and increase.
Finished Size(s):
from baby to adult XL
Skill Level: Intermediate
Yarn Used: most yarns, examples knitted in Noro Kureyon
(1 ball) and Lang Tosca (1 ball)
