This textured hat was designed to be made with WildWestDyes’ Worsted weight pure merino wool.

As well as knowing the standard knitting stitches, you will need to know, or learn the following techniques.

• Knit 2 together and Slip, slip, knit
• Yarn over

A rolling stocking stitch border to help frame your face - I’m not a fan of hats which start with a ribbed cast on as I find this ‘sticks’ and squishes my face…

WildWestDye’s worsted weight 4ply pure merino is a 17 count merino - supersoft and heavenly to work with. (for context, cashmere is 19 microns and below)
