This hat is based on a pattern designed for gloves in Sanquhar Scotland. This traditional pattern is one of several created in the 1800’s for Sanquhar gloves. Although it may look complicated, it is a very simple 10 stitch repeat.

I used Cascade 220 Superwash since I intended this hat as a chemo hat. If using a more dense yarn I suggest that a smaller needle size (6) be used.

As can be seen in the pictures of the two hats, the final choice of which yarn to end with creates a different center to the decrease. Although the directions indicate cc, choice is yours.
