Who wouldn’t love one of these? The perfect gift for any of your friends or family, big or little/adult or child. Great photo op, too! This hip & versatile little number can be worn as a hat OR a cowl! So, there’s really two designs in one! The Maddie is knitted in the round, on size US6 16-inch circular needles, and includes a cabled ribbing, eyelets, beads, a leather lace for cinching, and a beaded bind off (all beads are optional!).
The pattern includes bead instructions, & options for the drawstring. The featured hat was done with a leather lace, for added texture. The gauge is 6 stitches per inch & 7 rounds per inch.
You will need size US6 16-inch circular needles, one skein of Yarnitoli DK (Regal is the featured colorway), up to 108 size 6/0 glass beads, a cable needle, a stranding needle (for the beads), a size US7 DPN (double-pointed needle…for the bind off), & a darning needle.

Blocking is essential to the top edge of this piece. A dusting of starch was used with the featured Maddie.
