CSILLA HAT
……………………

The chaos and order of dancing stars, rendered in yarn…

Combining simple knit and purl stitches with traditional smocking technique, Csilla is richly textured and exceptionally squishy. The ornate motif is inside-out reversible, allowing for a multitude of ways to wear the hat - whether you opt for the short brim, the turned brim, or the beret option.


Suitable for adventurous knitters of all skill levels, Csilla is a single-skein project ideal for showcasing those very special yarns in a way that is artful and wearable.



Csilla is a Hungarian female name.
It is pronounced ‘cheella.’
