CONSTRUCTION

• The hat is worked circularly from the brim to the crown.
• The colors are alternated on every round.

GAUGE

• 29 stitches & 32 rounds = 4″ in 1×1 Twisted Ribbing with Size A needle(s), after blocking

NEEDLES

Size A (for Main Fabric)

• One 16″ circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 5 mm (US 8)

Size B (for Band)

• One 16″ circular needle*, one size smaller than Size A
• Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

Size C (for Tubular Cast On only)

• One set of DPNs*, three sizes smaller than Size B
• Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

*32″ circular needle can be used instead of 16″ circular and DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round. If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
