All-over texture keeps this one interesting! The fine waffle stitch traps warmth without being heavy to wear, and you can make it in one colour for a wardrobe essential or two colours for extra fun.

Written for 5ply sport weight or 4ply fingering weight (two sets of instructions included) and, a chart has been added for the crown section too.

When choosing colours for your hat, be aware that the main yarn will be far more prominent than the contrast yarn due to the slip stitch pattern; you can get two very different-looking hats simply by reversing the colours used in each.

Uses approx 270yd of 5ply sport weight wool/merino or 300yd of 4ply fingering. For two-colour versions, MC will use 2/3 and CC will use 1/3 of your yardage total. You will need 3.5mm & 4.5mm needles for the sport version, or 3mm and 3.5mm for the fingering option; on 40cm cables. Also DPNs or a longer cable to magic loop the crown.

Size will fit most adults/teens, and can easily be shortened or extended in height to suit personal preference.
