the Quince hat is a fun introduction to knitting herringbone in the round.
The body of the hat features a 2 (or 3) color stitch pattern creating texture and play with color.

Please note: during testing, some people found the cast on edge of the
brim curled and to alleviate this problem started over with a size 9 needle for the cast on and set up round. If you tend to cast on loosely you may want to start with the US size 9 needle.

Sizing::: child ( 19” )
adult small ( 20.5” ) / adult medium ( 21.5” ) / adult large ( 23.5” )

Gauge info::: 22 sts / 20 rows per 4” measured in herringbone (post blocking)
20 sts / 22 rows per 4” measured in slip stitch (post blocking)
