Go USA! Hat
Support Team USA at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi!
This bold hat embodies the spirit of the American Flag. Incorporating an i-cord border and jogless stripes, the hat is knit completely in stockinette stitch for a quick project. Easy to embroider stars complete the flag motif. Make the companion, Go USA Cowl, for a complete patriotic statement look!
One size - to fit heads approximately 21-23” in circumference.
There are two video tutorials for this pattern, one for picking up along the i-cord border for the main portion of the hat and a second for embroidering the stars onto the hat. Visit the 3 Kittens Needle Arts channel on YouTube to watch the videos.
I did not measure how much of each skein was used to make the hat, but I believe you can easily get 3 hats out of just one skein of each color.
Please note, red yarn often bleeds! I used Imperial Yarn’s Erin (the same yarn Ralph Lauren used in the infamous Opening Ceremonies Sweater) for my hat. I made sure to make a striped swatch out of the red and white yarns, wet it completely, then hung it to dry to test the color-fastness of the red yarn. It worked perfectly! However, I suggest that everyone do the same with any yarn they are using - including Imperial Yarn Erin.
