“This is not a coolishek this is not an ushanka hat, this is a coolishanka beanie.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A new word was need in the Czech language for this type and there it is. I had this hat on my mind for a while but only when I got across the Bethany Dearden plaid pattern (can be found here<\/a>) I knew I had to try it. In the original pattern the author starts with a ribbed band but I wanted to start traditionally from the top. Unfortunately I am not a mathematically talented so I had to try it several times before I got the correct size, number of loops and color switching combination. I did not give up so this plaid coolishanka came to world. And as a time saver for others I would like to share this pattern with you.<\/p>\n Plaid beanie called Coolishanka<\/strong> US terminology:<\/strong> <\/p>\n White<\/strong> (hook 6) Switching white and light grey<\/strong> Switching light grey and dark grey<\/strong> (light grey above white, dark grey above light grey from the previous row) Switching white and light grey<\/strong> (white above light grey from previous row, light grey above dark grey) Switching light grey and dark grey<\/strong> Switching withe and light grey<\/strong> Switching light grey and dark grey<\/strong> Dark grey, hook 5, ribbed band<\/strong> Finish:\u00a0<\/strong> That it is.\u00a0Please click on any advertisement or share<\/strong> this pattern on social network as a \u201cthank you\u201d for this free pattern.<\/p>\n If you have any questions please leave me a message in a chat box or in the form on the webpage (called Kontaktn\u00ed formul\u00e1\u0159).
