She's a Brick Hat
It’s Mighty-Mighty:)
A fun 2-color hat worked with a series of stripes and slipped stitches that resemble bricks on a zig-zag path. Sized for kids and adults, it can be worked in either a woolen spun fingering, sport, or DK weight yarn as a beanie or with a bit of slouch—you get to choose based on what’s in your stash and whose head will be wearing it
The yarn used (Tukuwool) in the sample hat is a fingering weight yarn, and yet I recommend either a sport weight, DK weight, or “woolen spun” fingering weight yarn for the project. The Tukuwool Fingering is a woolen spun yarn which, when worked to a looser-than-fingering gauge, fluffs up and fills in the loosened stitches once it is blocked. This produces a light, airy fabric. As a result, the hat itself will be quite lightweight when worked in the Tukuwool or yarns like it.
Take home message: Only use fingeringweight for the project if it is a woolen spun yarn and if you want a lightweight hat. Otherwise, it will totally work to use a DK or sport weight for the project—you will just end up with a more substantial fabric that is more typical of a winter hat.
The hat is stacked, and that’s a fact,
Ain’t holdin’ nothing back
