What lady doesn’t enjoy wearing a lovely Spring or Summer hat? Here is your chance to knit your own with my Sassy Sun Hat pattern. The hat is knit in the round with worsted/Aran weight kitchen cotton yarn, the type you use to make towels, with a knitted gauge of4 stitches to an inch/2.5 cm. The hat fits women with a head circumference of 20 to 22 inches/51 to 56 cm.0

I specialize in designing for Beginners, so you’ll find helpful hints included in the pattern:

1. How to pick up stitches in a way that avoids that telltale, unattractive ridge in the back.
2. How to change colors when knitting in the round so you avoid that unsightly step known as a “jog.”
3. How to use single crochet to apply hat brim wire … with a link to my You Tube video demonstrating the technique.

As you can see, I alternate stripes knit in stockinette stitch with stripes done in Seed Stitch. The brim contains narrow stripes, alternating colors with one round each.
