Feste

Feste is a stranded colorwork hat inspired by the brocade fabrics of the Elizabethan Period as well as a costume worn by actor Marc Rylance in his performance in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Worked entirely in the round from the bottom-up, this festive hat has a folded ribbing to frame the face and keep your ears extra warm. A pom pom and a lot of slouch make the hat both fashionable and fun.

The project requires Materials: 1skein each of the Main Color (MC) and Contrasting Color (CC) in Madelinetosh Tosh Sport (270 yds/skein), or Approximately 260 yards of the MC in sportweight yarn, and 125 yards of the CC in sportweight yarn
