Being announced as part of the #ThreeequencyKAL The ThreeequenSki Cap takes the staccato patterning of the Threeequency Pullover and pairs it with the delightful slow fade of Spincycle’s Dyed in the Wool.

However, it can be knit with any pairing of two fingering weight yarns and the pattern contains customization instructions for lengths from 9” long to 13” long.

The standard 11” version uses just 2, 50g balls of fingering weight, making the hat a great stash buster or perfect for using up leftovers from your Threeequency Pullover :)

Please share your action shots and finished hats with the hashtag #ThreeequenSkiCap

I recommend using two new 50g balls of fingering weight yarn, with 200 yds each you should be able to make any of the 4 sizes. My sample version, size 3, used 190 yds of MC and 160 yds of CC including a large 3-inch diameter pom-pom. Yardage calculations includes the large pom pom.
