I’m happy to announce the release of my NEW PATTERN! ✨ Here I show you how to make KALDI, this super quick, easy and beginner friendly earflap beanie. It's a full tutorial and I try to go slow and show every little thing, so you can all crochet along wiht me.
I made my first KALDI beanie over 10 years ago and the pattern was first published in my second book, María Heklbók in 2013. The original idea was this old fur hat my dad had and always wore to work as a builder when I was a kid. This image of him wearing his black lopi sweater and the big skin hat with the fury flaps down, usually some bits of concrete in there too, is very vivid in my mind. My dad is the salt of the earth type of guy and honestly we couldn‘t be less alike in general. What we do have in common is our sense of rather snarky humour. From him I got the good sense of knowing how to always see the funny side of life. That you shouldn‘t take yourself too seriously and know how to laugh at oneself too, which is important. He also taught me work ethics. If I only got two qualities from him, I must say these are very good ones.
Look at me going on about my dad! But just look at him there in the intro, he‘s really the best. Stable and strong like a big old oak. The original pattern name was Valdi Kaldi, Valdi is his nickname (from Þorvaldur) and Kaldi means cold... but informally it also means cool, collected and unfazed. Which he is! In the pics here he‘s wearing a way fancier lopi sweater than back in the days for work. This one was knitted by my mother; such beautiful work.
And just to get briefly into the whole hat thing 🙈🤣 what I love about this beanie is that it‘s super quick, fun and easy to make. You can easily make one in a few hours, so it makes for a great handmade gift. It only takes 1 x 100 g skein of bulky or worsted weight yarn, so hopefully you have something at hand in your stash already!! Lastly, It‘s also very versatile, since you can wear it 3 different ways, like I show you in the video.
