Notes

Another hat test for Kirsten Michele. I used leftovers from this hat test.
It was a quick and fun project. Easy description, and the choice between 3 heart variations.

My choices:

  • Size 2 (Adult Small)
  • Chart alternativ B

My gauge and measurements:
My stitch gauge is almost as in pattern, while round gauge did grow significant after washing.
Unwashed:
21 sts and 25 rnds.
Height from CO edge to top: 27 cm.
Double brim: 10 cm.
Width: 23 cm
Washed:
21.5 sts and 22 rnds.
Height from CO edge to top: 29 cm.
Double brim: 11 cm.
Width: 44 cm

My needles: Lykke wooden needles (interchangeables)

  • 3.25 mm for brim
  • 3.75 mm for body

Colors:
MC1: Brown (38 g): 29 g used for brim + 1 rnd (9 g left). Used: 0.58 skeins = 58.0 meters (63.4 yards), 29 grams
MC2: Red (39 g): 19 g used for body of hat (20 g left). Used: 0.38 skeins = 38.0 meters (41.6 yards), 19 grams
CC: White (32 g): 23 g used for body of hat (9 g left). Used: 0.46 skeins = 46.0 meters (50.3 yards), 23 grams

Notes to self:
- 14 rnds rib, 2 rnds fold, 14 sts rib.

Modifications:
No modifications, only that I used the German Twisted CO instead of cable CO for a stretchy edge.
