Knit Tellerbarret Pattern


For those who aren't on Landsknecht.org, and haven't seen Julia's post on her knit-and-felted Tellerbarret instructions: http://www.filehill.se/file/906

The file posting server is in Dutch (I believe) but the instructions are in English. The final cost on the pattern is about $10.50 USD. I have been convinced for awhile now that knit-and-felted was the most common technique in barret and Schlape hat construction in the early 16th C. Now someone else has taken the time to figure out `the hard stuff' (pattern) for you.

Please keep in mind when ordering, Julia is trying to make the cost on this pattern reasonable and in doing so, she is expecting that folks will direct those interested in a copy to this weblink so they can buy their own.

Do. Not. Photocopy. The. Pattern. For. Friends.

Seriously, $10 for a fellow reenactor who took the time to do the trial and error for you isn't too much to ask.

Thanks all!

"The file posting server is in Dutch (I believe)"

Mmmno: I think that's Swedish. At least, when I tried part of the licensing information in an online translator (Google Translate) I came up with itself as written when I tried from both Danish and Dutch into English, but Swedish to English yielded a very correct-reading English translation.

Very cool! Maybe after the New Year, if I'm feeling both ambitious and adventurous...

Yeah, if I had thought about where the reenactor who made the pattern came from just a touch longer I would have realized that. *eye roll* So much for my memory! *grin*
