Eowyn's Happy Hat
This cheerful hat combines several techniques, including Fair Isle, and is written for four sizes: children’s small, children’s large, adult small, and adult large. Great for using up small quantities of leftovers and can incorporate a variety of yarns for added texture. Corkscrew hat toppers use a basic crochet technique, with other options also included for finishing the top.
Yarn: 175-250 yds (70-100 g); yardage per color varies depending on size and number of colors used
Needles: 1 US size 4 (3.5 mm) 12” or 16” circular needle or DPNs
1 US size 6 (4.0 mm) 16” circular or size needed to achieve gauge plus second
size 6 12” or 16” circular or five DPNs or a 40” circular for finishing the top
1 US size E (3.5 mm) crochet hook
Children’s small hat requires shorter needle, DPNs, or Magic Loop for ribbing.
Notions: 1 sliding stitch marker; tapestry needle; scissors; stitch gauge. Optional: Chart holder and highlighting tape
