A.N.T. WORSTED

A New Take on the double layered reversible beanie in which there are so many versions out there, here is to them all.

A New Take on the double layered reversible beanie, unlike our original ANT in baby yak lace (found here). I have added STRIPES and made this on in baby yak Medium weight yarn. A unisex hat which is a quick knit in the medium thus the perfect gift giving item.

CONSTRUCTION
This hat is reversible and can be worn as a slouch hat or the brim folded to wear as a beanie and show off both sides. The hat uses square crown shaping, the “+” shape on the A side and pinwheel shaping on the B side. Using color A, the hat is worked from the brim to the crown starting with a provisional cast on, then using Color B, the live stitches of Color A are picked up and from there the hat is striped with Color A and B through the pinwheel shaping. Ends are woven in before beginning the crown of Color B. This hat utilizes 2 colors and 3 skeins of mYak baby yak medium. If you choose to use only 2 skeins of baby yak medium you run the risk of playing yarn chicken unless you have EXACT gauge.
