Lyrical Knits Funicular Hat PDF

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!
