…………..

With its striking cabled brim and elegantly rounded crown, the Treilís hat is a traditional Celtic Band Beanie common along the west coast of Ireland.

You will see many variations of hats made using this method of construction in Irish knitwear shops around the world! I hope you enjoy my interpretation of this popular vernacular design.

Originally published in 2017 as ‘Trellis Hat’. This is an updated and improved version of the pattern.

NOTES

. the samples show are made in Woolly Mammoth Fire Co. BFL-Aran and Yarn Vibes Organic Aran

. recommended for solid or tweeded colour ways

. 2 options for shaping the crown are offered: ‘anatomical fit’ and ‘puff fit’

. you can make a headband-only version by simply stopping after the Brim (this will make sense when you see the pattern)

. note that projects made before Autumn 2020 may show details that differ from this newer version of the pattern
