Swans Island Nordica Cap Hat Knitting Pattern

Discover the Nordica Cap, an intermediate knitting project designed by Michele Rose Orne and brought to life with Swans Island's premium yarns. This charming hat features a clean band of graphic snowflakes inspired by classic Nordic designs, paired with a simple garter stitch edging. Perfect for knitters eager to explore two-color intarsia work, this seamless, in-the-round design carries floats across the back through the charted section before returning to easy stockinette for crown shaping. Available in three sizes with finished circumferences from 17¾ to 22¾ inches, the Nordica Cap works beautifully in 100% merino wool for the main color and a luxurious merino and alpaca blend for contrast. The downloadable PDF pattern includes complete instructions, technical details, and charted snowflake patterns for each size. Whether you're just beginning color work or refining your skills, this rewarding project delivers a wearable treasure.
