Description

The Around & About Hat showcases a colorful band of garter ridges in the midst of a snug fitting ribbed beanie or a slightly slouchy stockinette version. Five size options fitting toddlers through adults will make it easy to keep the whole family warm with colorful stripes going around and about their heads! This is a wonderful stash-busting project too, as the contrast color requires no more than 30 yards (28 meters) in any size or style.

Gauge Notes:

22 stitches =4” (10 cm) in 2×2 ribbing, unstretched; 4.5 stitches = 4” (10 cm) in garter stitch, unstretched

26 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in stockinette; 36 rounds = 4” (10 cm) in garter

Note that since there is really no one spot in either hat where you’ll easily be able to measure 4” of row gauge, the 1” gauge measurements are equal to:

6.5 rounds = 1” (2.5 cm) in stockinette; 9 rounds = 1” (2.5 cm) in garter

Yarn Requirements:

Worsted weight yarn, approximately 80 – 120 yards (74 – 119 m) main color; 15 – 30 yards (14 – 28 m) contrasting color(s) total

Needles:

US 5 (3.75 mm) 16″ (40 cm) circular needle, 16” cord length; DPNs or second circular needle for when the circumference in decrease section becomes too small for a single needle. Alternately, the entire hat can be knit using a circular needle with a 32” or longer cable if you prefer to work the pattern using magic loop.
