In Stitches Hat

Stashbuster project alert! Pick a favourite, neutral main colour and go wild with leftovers from your stash for the contrast colours… there are so many combinations of colours you can use. Go monotone with only one contrast colour or use a different colour for every ‘stitched’ stripe.

This hat pattern comes in a beanie and a slouchy version and is an easy but satisfying pattern using slipped stitches for the colourwork so only one colour is worked per round.

Gauge 26 sts and 35 rounds to 10cm/4” in slipped stitch pattern with larger needle.

Beanie height: 19cm/7.5” Slouchy height: 23cm/9”

NB Hat can be lengthened or shortened by either adding or deleting a colourwork section before decreasing for the crown. Please check row gauge as many substitute yarns knit up with less rounds per 10cm/4” which will result in your hat being longer than expected.

Pattern is fully written with a chart included for the colourwork sections.
