Topla volnena kapa - A warm wool hat

Tole kapo sem spletla za sina, po njegovih željah: kite različnih širin, neraztegnjene - močno reliefne, kapa tako dolga, da se zadaj pobesi, iz debele volnene preje iz treh niti. Barvana je (verjetno) z rabarbarinimi listi v eni štreni v več stopnjah, tako da je v dveh niansah, vmes pa še prevezana, da je ostala skoraj bela oziroma zelo svetla. Dodala sem še enobarvno svetlo in še tretjo volno v malo bolj zelenkastih niansah. Pa vse je moralo biti namešano brez določenega reda, v nepravilnih presledkih, tako da mi je tudi pri kitah "ratalo" kaj nepravilnega, he-he!

The hat was knit for my son, custom made to his desire: the plaits are of various widths, not stretched so that they remain strongly embossed, the hat is so long that it hangs down at the back, and the wool yarn is three-ply. It was dyed (probably) with rhubarb leaves in one long skein in several degrees so that the colour is in two nuances. Besides, I tied it in several places where it remained almost white. I also used a yarn of very light solid colour and a third yarn in greenish colours. All this had to be mixed without any defined pattern, at irregular lengths, so that some irregularities also moved into the plaits, he-he!
