Pucker Up is a perfect hat for Fall or Spring because it’s very lightweight and breaths well. Its 3-dimensional texture keeps it interesting to knit, and nice to pull out at the end of Winter when you still need a hat, but are tired of wearing one- Pucker Up is there with fun texture! It knits up quickly, but looks more complicated than it is.

Measure the head around the widest part to determine size, sizing is given to fit each head size with a beanie style fit. If you prefer a “slouchy” fit, cast on and follow ribbing instructions for your head size, then increase in the last ribbing row to the number of stitches given for one size larger.

In suggested yarn, requires one skein for 18 or 20” sizes, 2 skeins for all other sizes.

Pattern uses simple short rows (no wrapping and turning!) And includes instructions both for knitting back backwards or turning the work to create the short rows.
