Not another Weasley Hat
Inspired by the Weasley family and Sophie. By Jessica Gutoski www.naturallyknitty.blogspot.com The Weasley's always have the coolest knit items. Thanks to Molly and her needles! Ron and his famous ‘R' sweater and all the hats he wears. When I think of the twins I think of the different knitted fair isle hats they wear in Hogsmeade. I decided that Ginny needed a girly version. My HSS2 pal Sophie told me that she is absolutely nutters for argyle... Volia, this hat was born! Its worked from the top down. Guage $\sim$ 20 sts x 28 rows over 4inches
Materials:
Needles\~
US# 6 (2circulars) US# 10 (or similar sized needle for bind off) Darning needle
Yarn\~
Cascade 220 superwash 1 ball MC 1ball CC Pom pom maker or a bit of cardboard

With MC K2 rnds, break MC With CC K13 rnds \*K2tog yo\* K13 rnds Switch to CC and K3 rnds With MC K2 rnds
To Finish:
Fold your work at the picot edge wrong sides in BO as follows: (Use your US# 10 for the right needle)
Find the last row of the MC; it will be a row of purl bumps. With your left needle pick up the first bump and K it and the first st on the left needle together. Pick up the next bump and k it together with the first st on the left needle. You now have two worked Sts on the right needle. Slip the right st over and off of the needle to BO. Continue in this manner until all of the Sts are BO. Pull the yarn through the last st to secure.
Make a pom pom, whatever size you prefer, and attach it to the top of the hat. Or opt not to make one at all.
Block you hat and Enjoy!
