Description
Knitting pattern for colourful hats with an exciting construction! I love shawls, and I love hats – but often the hats I own don‘t match my shawls and the other way round. That‘s why I created matching hats for my shawls HAMBURG AHOI and POTZBLITZ, made of the leftover yarn from the shawls. The hats are fitted to womens size, but you find a lot of tips how to adjust the size or even create your own hat with another gauge. Still, as the tip is formed, you might need some testing to get it right. But once you figured out the system, you will probably knit the hat several times, because it‘s a great stash buster and makes fantastic gifts! Good to know: The hat is worked flat, as knitting garter stich in the round is no fun at all.
Gauge Garter stitch, 23 stitches x 46 rows = 10 x 10 cm = 4 x 4 inches The hats are knitted flat – knitting garter stitch in the round would be no fun …
These knitting and crocheting techniques you already master: Knitting: cast on, knit, purl Crocheting (for the bobbles): chain stitch, double crochet stitch
Included tutorials: decreases, increases, i-cord,crochet bobbles
Have fun knitting, yours Steffi from cats&hats
