Peruvian Knitted Hats

In the old Inca villages in the mountains around the Sacred Valley near Cusco and in islands in the middle of Lake Titicaca, men and women still knit hats as part of their traditional costume. Each village has its own unique shape and design of hat. This film shows men and women knitting hats in the villages of Accha Alta, Chinchero, Pitumarca, Chahuaytiri in the Cusco area and on the islands of Amantini and Taquile on Lake Titicaca.
