With a stranded colorwork motif inspired by the metal work adorning some of Pittsburgh’s bridges and riverside walkways, this hat knits up quickly and has the added benefit of a double layer of warmth around the forehead and ears thanks to stranding on the inside.

To knit this pattern, you need to know how to:

• work in the round,
• work twisted ribbing,
• read and work from a colorwork chart, and
• do basic decreases (k2tog).

The colorwork motif used in this hat is charted only.

Yarn estimates:

Contrast color: approximately 35 (40, 55) yds./32 (36.5, 50) m
