Détails du produit

A century ago about 100,000 tigers roamed the earth, but only 4,000-4,500 remain in the wild today. Habitat loss & illegal poaching for body parts have led to the extinction of 3 subspecies and continue to threaten the remaining 6. This hat was designed as a tribute to them.

The basic hat is a circular knit worsted weight watch cap with an additional ringed tail. (I used a Magic Loop needle and Red Heart Super Saver® yarn for the samples.) Separate instructions for 5 hat sizes are included, from Child 3-10 to XL-Adult.

The embroidered face is done with duplicate stitch (also known as knit embroidery) & the pattern assumes a knowledge of this technique. Fair Isle (knitting with 2 or more colors across a round) & intarsia (knitting with separate blocks of color) will not work because the embroidery includes half stitches.

Detailed charts for each face color are provided. 8mm glass beads or buttons make the eyes stand out. It’s a unique & fun hat for folks of all ages.
