Knitting kit for Basset hat by Creadia Studio in Önling No 3 + silk mohair
The Basset Hat is a simplified classic take on the American pilot/trapper hat and the Russian ushanka. It is knitted top-down, in rib stitches, making it easy to try on and potentially customize as you go.
Here we knit the hat in one strand soft merino wool Önling No 3 held together with two strands of silk mohair. This results in a wonderfully chunky, warm and soft hat.
Please note: The images are the designers own and NOT knitted in Önling's yarn.
You receive the pattern in English and French.
The pattern is a PDF file. Immediately after purchase you will be able to download the pattern directly from the purchase confirmation page.

ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
