I made a hat last year!

In Swedish this is called a kalott. It’s made out of wedges and are mostly worn by men in traditional costumes. But in Toarp it’s also worn by women! Mine is inspired by the gender neutral costume #Bäckadräkten

I could’ve done less with the embroidery, but I’m a helpless maximalist. All of the embroidery is based on blanket stitching. How many ways can you vary one stitch? Lots, it turns out!

It's beautiful! 💜
