Beanie Elska

PDF Knitting Pattern

The Elska hat shines with handcrafted details. You start with an Italian cast-on for a particularly elastic edge, followed by a classic 2x2 ribbing. After the structured main part, shapely decreases ensure the perfect fit. A fluffy pom-pom forms the crowning finish of this feel-good project.

I wanted to design a hat for you that accompanies you every day, understated, warm and simply fitting. The hat should not feel like just any accessory, but like a familiar piece that you always like to have with you on cold days.

Meaning of the name

Elska is the Icelandic word for "love". For me, this name stands for warmth, tenderness and the small, honest happiness that only handmade things contain. When you knit Elska, you create this happiness stitch by stitch yourself.
