Product description

This one-of-a-kind cap features exaggerated texture and playful use of negative space, with plump chains rising to the crown between ladders of easy lace. The knitting begins with a tubular cast-on and a band of single rib; chains are worked by dropping stitches and hooking them back up in clusters. Quick and so much fun to knit from a single skein of Quarry, Halus is an ideal last-minute gift—and you may find you can’t stop at one.

  • Pattern materials

    YARDAGE

    • 165 yards of chunky weight wool yarn


    YARN

    • 1 skein of Brooklyn Tweed Quarry (100% American Targhee-Columbia wool; 200 yards/100g)
    • Photographed in colors GarnetLazulite & Gypsum


  • Pattern specs

    CONSTRUCTION

    • The hat is worked circularly from the brim to the crown. Because of the Drop-Stitch Chain technique used in the hat, the finished fabric will look very different from the working fabric.
    • A few rounds prior to closing up the hat, you will drop the 3-stitch columns of stockinette stitch then chain the yarn strands back up in groups using the crochet hook to create the large-scale chains of the finished fabric.


    GAUGE

    • Working Gauge 19 stitches & 24 rows = 4″ in unfinished Chain Pattern (before hooking up dropped stitches) with Size A needle(s), after light steam blocking
    • Finished Gauge 18 stitches & 24 rounds = 4″ in finished Chain Pattern (after hooking up dropped stitches) 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: 5½ mm (US 9)


    Size B (for Ribbing)

    • One 16″ circular needle*, one size smaller than Size A
    • Suggested Size: 5 mm (US 8)


    Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)

    • One 16″ circular needle*, two sizes smaller than Size B
    • Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)


    *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.

    Note: 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.


    FINISHED DIMENSIONS

    • 20″ circumference unstretched (to comfortably fit average adult head sizes 20–24″) 8¾” long
