Ribbed Hat

Even though we are on the last leg of summer here in the Pacific Northwest, I could not resist making this scrumptious winter hat. I used Knit Collage Swirl Day Dream, which is a bulky weight yarn with strands of gold flecked throughout. It's a super easy knit, even for beginners. It took me about two hours to complete the hat.  

I used a US size 13 needle that was 16 inches long and cast on 40 stitches and knit one, purl one until it measured approximately 9 inches. Please note that It is important to make sure that you have an even number of stitches if you are knitting in the round because you want your rows to line up. Then I knit two together for the next two rows, broke the yarn and pulled it through the remaining stitches.

The link below does not have this color, but has many others from Knit Collage. You can also visit your local yarn shop or contact the Stockists listed on the Knit Collage website to see if they have this color. I want to make this hat in ALL the colors, so you really can't go wrong. Enjoy!
