The motif for this simple 1x1 ribbed hat came from a collection of antique needlepoint images (Russian? Latvian?) I found years ago, though I have no idea where they were from or why I held onto them. I have been slowly turning them into charts for knitting with some liberties taken to account for what would end up being extra-long floats.

Be sure to leave plenty of slack in your floats behind or else it could get pretty tight.

Three-color stranded hat with hemmed brim and Russian bird/flower motif

Slouchy, knitted houndstooth beanie with a corrugated rib.

The pattern calls for 2 skeins of yarn which will yield about 7 1/2 repeats of the pattern. If you would like a longer scarf, a third skein will be necessary.
