Notes

Made to go with my scarf. I used a bit of the Stellina to make an elastic ribbing band on the inside of the hat. I wanted to keep it snug, but I didn’t want visible ribbing on the edge. I used exactly on skein of the noro and didn’t have enough to use it for the inside band, but I don’t think I would have used it for that anyway. It’s not a very elastic yarn.

It’s not a perfect dome (I couldn’t figure a perfect dome with the yarn constraints that would also fit a human head too) but the beauty of knitting is that once you put it on, it stretches to fit just fine.
