Knitting pattern for the GESPER hat (PDF)

Download the knitting pattern for the "Gesper" men's hat and knit a stylish accessory that combines functionality and design. This hat features a wide brim that offers protection from the cold while adding an elegant touch. With an attractive color and stripe pattern below the brim, the "Gesper" hat offers a unique design.

The pattern supports you with clear instructions and illustrations. The beginning of the hat is designed with an Italian cast-on, and a well-placed folded edge ensures that the brim can be folded over evenly. The peak of the hat is worked into the 1x1 rib pattern, allowing for a smooth transition and a clean finish.

This hat can be combined with other knitted items, such as a scarf and half-finger gloves (for which instructions are also available). This creates a coordinated set that is both functional and visually appealing in winter.

This is included in the instructions:

• Richly illustrated step-by-step instructions with color coding for three different head circumferences M (56/57 cm), L (58/59) and XL (60/61)
• Detailed description of all knitting techniques used
