Arcuato - PDF knitting pattern

Reminiscent of Italian archways, Arcuato uses short row colourwork techniques to create it’s distinctive pattern. Worked as simple stripes within a panel, the arches form with minimal effort.

Worked sideways in aran weight yarn, the Hat can easily be adjusted for a range of sizes by changing needle size, gauge or yarn.

4 sizes are included in the pattern for the suggested yarn. The instructions are provided in charted format and an adjustment point is noted, should you wish to alter the depth.

Illustrated tutorials are also included to help guide you through the techniques needed to create this Hat.
