Description
Method:
This stranded colorwork hat is knit in the round from the brim up. It has a rolled hem, corrugated ribbing, and easy-to-knit colourwork motifs containing minimal long floats.
Please note the colorwork design in this pattern is charted, not written out. You need to be prepared to read and work from charts in order to enjoy knitting this design.
Size:
This pattern is written in 3 sizes. All instructions that differ depending on the size you are knitting are indicated with parentheses and color coded like this: S (M, and L).
Sizing has 1.5” – 2.5” (3.75 – 6 cm) of negative ease built in, so choose a size 1.5” – 2.5” (3.75 – 6 cm) smaller than the head circumference of the intended wearer.
| Size | Finished Hat Circumference | Suggested Age | |
| S | 18⅝” | 47 cm | Teen/ Women’s S |
| M | 20” | 51 cm | Women’s M- L/ Men’s S |
| L | 21⅜” | 54 cm | Men’s M – L |
Yarn:
This pattern was designed with Cygnet Boho Spirit and Cygnet DK and works well with two (or more) contrasting colors of DK yarn. You can use any DK yarn that you like and with which you can get tension/ gauge.
Please note I do not recommend using yarns with a high cotton content as cotton doesn’t stretch as much as other fibers and this will affect the fit of your hat.
The amounts of each color required will depend on which size you are knitting, as a guide for the hat pictured (size M) I used the following:
MC – Cygnet DK in 256 Cream approx. 110 metres (120 yards)
CC – Cygnet Boho Spirit in 6461 Mojo approx. 55 metres (60 yards)
Gauge:
stitches and 7 rows per inch (2.5 cm) over colorwork pattern.
Needles:
3.75mm dpns, long circular for magic loop, or short circular (in which case you will still need dpns to work the crown decreases) or size needed for gauge.
Other Materials Required:
Stitch Markers
Tape Measure
Scissors
Darning needle for sewing in ends.
Pompom
Small button (if attaching pompom with elastic loop)
