In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute.
Minnesota-based yarn shop Needle & Skein has reimagined this design for this difficult moment in our history and is selling both a knit and crochet version of the pattern to raise funds for immigrant aid agencies.
Knitting Pattern available here. Pattern includes instructions for fingering, DK, and worsted weight versions.
