You will get – Digital download (1 PDF)

• DESCRIPTION

The hat is easy to make, with intermediate knitters in mind.

Using knit and purl stitches, you will create ribbing, and then, using 4 colors, you will create an intricate design for the main body of the hat.

This hat will be super cozy to wear in the cold weather.

Yarn

Any bulky/chunky/12 ply yarn.

• 1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in M1009 - Grey
• 1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in MK928 in Light grey
• 1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in MK135 - Pink
• 1 x skein of Kartopu Melange Wool in K3063 - Mustard

Needles

• 5.5 mm (US 9) 16" circular knitting needles
• 6 mm (US 10) 16" circular knitting needles

Please note - you may have to change your needles for the decrease of the hat if working on the 16" circulars becomes too tight.

This would mean using a set of size 5.5 mm (US 9) double-pointed needles (DPNs).

If you do not have those, you could use a 60cm/24" cable and use the magic loop technique.
