Ribbed & Marled Hat No. 2
Marls are my favorite thing, and so easy to add into any worsted weight pattern! Did you know most fingering weight yarns held double make worsted? The realization opened up a lot of possibilities for me.
This is a classic hat knit in the round from the bottom up in a rib. The decreases used are k2tog and ssk. For Child–Adult Large sizes you’ll use 16” circulars until about halfway through decreasing, then switch to double pointed needles or longer circulars and the magic loop method to finish the decreasing. The Newborn and Baby sizes are so small you have to use DPNs or magic loop for the whole hat.
YARN
130 (150, 190, 220, 260) yards total of fingering weight yarn held double:
65 (75, 95, 110, 130) yards of each color.
by substituting worsted weight yarn held single yardage needed is only about half of the above
We used Woolfolk Tynd in colors #13 & 14 in our hat!
