I am retiring from knit design due to progressive arthritis. Although I will no longer provide pattern support to my patterns that are now free, my patterns are edited and most have been test knit.

Add to your knitter’s toolbox with this quick unisex tweed hat worked top down with a circular cast on, central double increases expanding into textured Rice Stitch, and a tubular bind off providing a finished edge to 1x1 ribbing.

S, M, L fits 18, 20.5, 23.5”/41, 47, 60 cm head circumference

Rowan Hemp Tweed: 1, 1, 2 skeins for S, M, L
Queensland Collection Kathmandu Aran 100: 1 skein all sizes
