About:
Twisted Lace Hat is a textured hat pattern, mixing my love of cables combined with lace eyelet detailing. Knit in the round using your favourite DK merino yarn. The combination of stitches create a rich textured pattern. Twisted Lace Hat is both written and charted so that you can work in your preferred way. The pattern includes 5 sizes from infant up to adult large.

Gauge:
Knit in the round, in pattern will be 26 stitches x 30 rounds = 10cm/4” (4mm/US6 needles).
This hat is designed to have quite a bit of stretch so I recommend you choose the same needles that you would use for standard stocking stitch gauge of 22 sts x 30 rounds per 10cm/4”.

Meterage: Approximately.
If you are working a double folded over brim, add approximately 20% extra yarn to the meterage below.

Infant: 85m /93y
Toddler: 115m / 126y
Child: 126m / 138y
Adult: 150m / 164y
Adult L: 180m / 197y

Recommended needles: (adjust needles to meet gauge)
3.5mm/US4 30-40cm/12-16” for ribbing.
4mm/US6, 30-40cm/12-16” length circular needles for main body.
