REQUIRED SKILLS: knit, purl, knit in the round, cable, use double-pointed needles,

FINISHED SIZE (blocked)
15.5” circumference at rib, unstretched.
23” circumference at rib, stretched.
8” height.
The sample size used approx. 75g of yarn. If
you’d like to add or subtract height or width you
should have enough yarn left to do so. To expand
the width, each repeat you add will increase the
width by .5” and use 2.5g of yarn. To expand the
height, you should have enough yarn to add one
repeat (1.3”) and it should use 15g of yarn.

YARN
O-Wool O-WASH WORSTED (100% certified
organic merino; 100g/179yds); 1 skein. Shown in
Wood Dove.

I block hats but I do not stretch them
out when I block them. I lay them flat and
pat them down but do not stretch them
horizontally or vertically. The following gauge
is blocked in the way I described.
One repeat of chart = .5” wide x 1.3” tall
Four repeats of chart = 2” wide x 5.25” tall

smaller than gauge needle) for ribbing
