A “Funicular” is a rail car that
is run by cables up an inclined plane, usually a mountainside and, worked
entirely in the round from the bottom up, the Funicular Hat from Lyrical Knits
has inclined lines of colorwork that are formed entirely by short rows. Choose
either a short ribbing or a deeper, folded ribbing to frame the face and keep
your ears extra warm. A pompom and a bit of slouch make the hat both
fashionable and fun. So pick your colors and get started!
