Size

Baby(toddler, child/small adult, large adult)

To fit headcircumference

37-45(45-49, 49-55, 55-60) cm/15-18(18-19.5, 19.5-22, 22-24) inches.

What size to choose

Due to the stretchability of this hat, one size fits a wide range of heads, but the length may vary with different headcircumferences in one size. Since the hat is knit topdown, you can try the hat on to determine how many rounds of ribbing you need to make the head fit to your head.

Gauge

25 sts and 50 rows in garter stitch (25 ridges) are 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches).

Stitchmarkers

If you use the written instructions, you will need stitchmarkers in three different colors. There is one marker A (mA), 5 markers B (mB) and 6 markers C (mC). If you use the charts, you only need one mA to mark the beginning of the round. You could use the 5 mB's to mark the repeats of the chart in one round.

Twisted rib

In the third section starts the twisted rib. It is made by repeating p1, kitbl. Depending on which round is worked it starts with p1 or with kitbl. Always work the same stitches over one another, so p1 over p1 and kitbl over kitbl.

Work round 4 8(10, 14, 16) times or until you reached desired length. Break yarn, leaving a long enough tail to graft all stitches together (about 4 times the circumference of the hat).

Bind off

The first stitch on the needle should be a knit stitch. If this is not the case, purl one more stitch before working the bind off. Take 2 spare needles in the right hand against each other. Slip all (twisted) knit stitches on the front needle, all purl stitches on the back needle. If you are using double pointed needles for this, only slip as many stitches as fits on the needles. Graft all stitches together using kitchener stitch.

Charts

Using Emily Ockers Cast On, CO 6 sts. Start working the chart, working 6 repeats in one round. Work last round 8(10, 12) times or until you reached desired length.

Green and red sts

In the charts I marked a few sts in colours. You have to change the position of marker A (beginning of the round) at these points. You will find these rounds in the written instructions in the end of second section and setup for third section. The green sts are in round 1 of this section, the red sts in round 4.

slip next 2 sts on cable needle in front of work, k 2 sts, k sts fromthecableneedle

at the beginning of the round, remove marker A, knit these sts, place marker at the new beginning of the round. The other 5 repeats, ignore these sts knit those sts 5 times. At the end of the round, slip these stitches, remove the marker A, slip the stitches back to the left needle, place marker at the new beginning of the round.
