Lined hat with I-Cord
Materials:
Worsted weight yarn (maybe handspun?), soft fingering weight yarn for lining Dpns or circular needle Size: Adult
Notes:
You start with the I-cord. Then you pick up stitches from the I-Cord and work the hat. Finally you pick up stitches again from the I-Cord and knit the lining.


The lining makes the hat really warm. A soft lining makes it possible to use even 'scratchy' yarn for the hat...

Abbreviations: CO = Cast on, BO = Bind off k = knit p = purl sts = stitches ssk = slip, slip, knit the 2 sts together Gauge: 4"(10 cm) = 22 sts X 27 rds 4'' (10 cm) = 26 sts × 34 rds (green yarn in pattern, unstretched) (brown yarn in stockinette)
Instructions:
CO 4sts Work an I-Cord for 120 rows. BO your sts, don't cut the yarn. Using dpns or a short circular needle pick up sts from the I-Cord. One sts from each row. Don't twist the I-Cord. (=120 sts) Continue working in the round and place a marker at the beginning of the round. Round 1: \* k3, p1 \* work from \* to \* 30 times altogether Work Rounds 2 - 40 in the same way.


Start decreasing: Round 41: \*SSK, knit the following 22 sts in established pattern\* work from \* to \* 5 times altogether (=115 sts) Round 42: \*SSK, knit the following 21sts in established pattern\* work from \* to \* 5 times altogether (= 110 sts) Round 43: \*SSK, knit the following 20 sts in established pattern\* work from \* to \* 5 times altogether (= 105 sts) Continue this way until 10 sts remain on your needles. Cut yarn and pull the thread through the remaining sts 2times. Weave in the end. Graft together the beginning and ending of the ICord. Weave in the end.

Knit 45 rounds. Weave in the thread from the beginning

Start decreasing: Round 46: \*SSK, k 22 \* work from \* to \* 5 times altogether (=115 sts) Round 47: \*SSK, k 21 \* work from \* to \* 5 times altogether (= 110 sts) Round 48: \*SSK, k 20 \* work from \* to \* 5 times altogether (= 105 sts) Continue this way until 10 sts remain on your needles. Cut yarn and pull the thread through the remaining sts 2times. Weave in the end.

My green yarn evened out a lot after washing. I used 30 grams of fingering weight yarn (brown) and 75 grams of the worsted weight yarn (green).
