This Hat is named for Hermes, the Greek god of travel who bridged the worlds of the mortal and the divine. The colourwork strands of Hermes appear fluid, a transmission of stitches from brim to crown.
Each Hat in the Imperceptions collection is knitted bottom-up and in the round. The ideal yarn for these Hats is 4-ply or light sportweight, in a multi-plied fibre with some natural give, such as merino. The illusions look their best in two high-contrast colours.
The patterns in Imperceptions are provided in both written and charted format, and are graded through gauge. Two sizes are included in each pattern, and further help for grading with different yarns and needle sizes is available on the Woolly Wormhead forum.
Available as a single pattern or as part of the Imperceptions collection.
