Inspired by the timeless elegance and natural beauty that stirred Vivaldi’s imagination during his time in the idyllic countryside of Mantua, the Vivaldi Cappello is a graceful and versatile hat pattern that captures the spirit of both seasons and sonatas. Designed as a companion to the Vivaldi Summer Mitts, this charming shade hat evokes the feeling of a leisurely walk beside a gently winding stream, its soft lines and thoughtful details reflecting the harmony of nature and music alike. Knit in a breathable cotton-linen blend, it becomes the perfect summer accessory—lightweight, airy, and ideal for sunny garden afternoons or strolls through the market. Worked in cozy wool, however, it transforms into a warm yet elegant winter piece, ready to accompany you on bright, brisk days when the air is frosty and the sunlight glints like strings on a violin. The cappello is sized to comfortably fit most teen and adult heads (21–23 inches or 53–58 cm), ensuring both style and practicality. Its DK weight construction gives it just the right amount of structure, while the option to use one or two colors allows for playful customization between the brim and underbrim. The finishing touch—a flat i-cord hatband that ties in the back—adds both refinement and adjustability, allowing you to create the perfect fit every time. Whether you choose a yarn that sings of summer or hums a cozy winter tune, the Vivaldi Cappello is a lyrical addition to any handmade wardrobe.
